I Will Walk There Again

created for me by my friend,
The Unknown Gnome

I will walk there again,
on those wild shores of my heart's home
and, when I do,
I will carry you there in my heart,
carry you back to where you ran and leaped 
among the waves in joy.
Then, finally,
we will both be 
Home.

for Mary's Tuesday prompt at dVerse: write about something you miss. The beach and Pup are the two things I miss, every minute of every day of my life.

    Beautifully expressed, sherry. The loss of the dog is the worst. You said so much in so few words.

    You blended joy and loss so well here, Sherry. A beautiful thought to know that you two will be reunited...home someday.

    There is something comforting and uplifting about this poem, despite the sense of loss which permeates it. Very nicely balanced.

    Looks like Pup made it to 14; like 90+ in people years; not a bad canine romp. Such a heartfelt response to the "missing" prompt. My Taffy has been gone for a decade. Lovely to imagine all our dogs in "heaven", playing on golden beaches.

    I believe they are all together playing, happy - waiting for us and so joyous when we come.

    Smiles.. it is obvious
    that he still
    leaps
    for joy
    in your heart..
    and i can see him
    there as joy
    in the
    heArt of you..
    what a gift.. Love..
    it never need end..
    as long as Love Loves..:)
