They are all out there,
our furry loves - the foal,
gone way too soon, buried
with the ball he loved so much,
his mother, Beau, the grand old mare,
who once stood between two fighting horses,
bared her teeth and bellowed
her "Enough!" She was undisputed
queen of the paddock during
her reign. Other loves
followed - beloved dogs and cats,
Jasmine, buried with her
big stuffed moose, beside her
brother Lukey (they came
and left this earth together)
and more loved horses,
so now we look across
a field of sorrow, which also
is a field of love and pain,
and the hope that one day
we will see our furry loves
again.
Snowball the Persian, Kasper the cat named for a fashion designer, Gunner the Brittany Springer, Chole the English Springer ... yes we will see them again. As will you yours.
ReplyDeleteA field of sorrow but, it also holds memories of better days.
