Night Whispers
Alone in the dark I hear the night whisper,
A presence I feel coming close, ever nearer.
A tug at my heart on gold threads from above
An image appears of one I so loved.
A gentle breeze I feel from wings softly waved,
The joy of remembering the love that he gave.
The vision so real I can feel with my hands
His coat so soft as beside me he stands.
An angelic kiss he places on my cheek
The feeling so real my heart skips a beat.
The warmth of his body is felt by me to
As night whispers gently, “he loved only you.”
As tears sting my eyes he fades slowly away,
My heart begs in silence, “please, let him stay.”
My head bowed in pain…I see in my hand
Entwined in my fingers are golden hair strands.
I hear in my heart a message so clear,
“You have my love, I’ll always be near.”
As night gently fades into day
Night whispers remain with gold threads on display.

Anniversary of Pain
Today is the day I was left all alone,
The warmth within turned cold as a stone.
They say memories will bring peace to my heart,
That in time the pain will surely depart.
It’s been many years, the anniversary today,
Since the one I loved dearly went silently away.
No peace have I found in time that has passed,
You see my heart broke when his beat its last.
Tho I have somewhat adjusted to being alone,
Each day is the same…so quiet my home.
He was so perfect, fulfilled every need
And the ache in my heart still strong with each beat.
I can’t forget this day of the year,
The anniversary of pain of one lost so dear.
Many times I’ve been offered pups to replace
But to look at them, I see only his face.
To take one home I feel would be unfair
For I know in my heart a pup’s love I just can’t yet share.
Not ready just yet tho it’s been quite some time
Just can’t seem to mend this old heart of mine.
Please understand, you who are so very kind…
The anniversary of pain still holds my mind.
I know there are those who just can’t understand
The devotion I feel to this one so grand.
Until I can see and peace comes once again
My heart can’t forget this anniversary of pain.
