Good-Bye for Now
When he was just a puppy I held him in my arms
And promised to always love him and never cause him harm
He touched my life in many ways my companion and best friend
I loved him from the beginning and now even more in the end
I knew this day was coming and dreaded saying good-bye
The joys that he had brought me were far more than any cry
I’ll miss his daily feedings with a proud pat on his head
I’ll miss him in his favorite chair and I’ll miss him in my bed
Because he cares so much for me I know he’d try to stay
But I can’t witness him suffer for just another day
It’s been a tough decision but I’ll do my very best
To cherish all our memories as I lay him down to rest
I know now he is happy forever young and content
And as he runs beside the angels his eyes will be intent
Waiting ever so patiently until my life on earth is through
So he can jump into my arms amongst heaven’s view

I love this poem. Tears fell as I read it.I had to put my Roscoe .my Yorkie-Poo I had for 7 yeats down. I took him to the vet with what I thought was a cold, He had leukemia and Had just had a wellness exam 2 months before and was fine, two months he is deathly ill. Vet then said he was fine. I held Roscoe in my arms as he was given the shot. I will never forget the stark look that was on his face as he died he must have had pain.I held him for a long time.afterwards.That was 10-30-2020 I miss him so much.Roscoe was my Velcro baby. I had him cremated and his ashes are in a small beautifully carved box along with his paw print next to him. Roscoe brought so much joy to my life. He was a rescue boy that made my life so much brighter.
