The morning after you left us

We woke to snow littering the ground

I knew immediately that you had sent it

To tell us you were all around


I knew you had completed your journey

Across the rainbow bridge

I knew you were at rest now

In a world of flying pigs


Though your body is no more

Your spirit explores beyond

You become everything

Of which we are fond


At night you watch over us

Sleeping safely in our beds

You curl up beside us

You send sweet dreams to our heads


When your sister worries

When she angers fears or knots

You are there to battle

Every mind invading thought

 

I miss you all of every second

But I meet peace at the signs of you

Your messages say that you’re ok

And that I will be too

This poem is about my dog who recently passed. He is the first loved one I have ever lost and was my first best friend. His name is Cash.
