I’ve been scared to write to you,
Because nothing seems sufficient to say.
I can tell you that I miss you more than life,
And that I think about you each day.
The hole in my heart is continuous,
As I feel you everywhere around me.
I come home, waiting to hear you bark,
And looking around the house, you are all I see.
My dreams are empty chases and when I wake I cry,
I simply can’t sleep, without you snoring by my side.
Waking up each morning your absence is immediately known,
I would stay in bed all day and weep, but I rise only for my pride.
I would give anything to see you again,
I need you in my life. You’re still my best friend.
If only I’d have talked to God and made a special deal,
Then here you’d still be, instead of at your life’s end.
Almost a whole year without you doesn’t seem possible,
There’s no way I could have survived.
Our walks, talks, memories don’t really feel over.
In your wake I am completely deprived.
I hope more than anything that a Heaven exists for you,
With your rawhides, babies and our Oreos galore.
It’s that Heaven that I’ll go to, to be with you someday,
And all day we’ll cruise in your wagon along the beach’s shore.
