To my foster dog
You blew in with the summer breeze
in seven weeks you were gone
No more rushing home from work
No more up at dawn
I drank my coffee on the deck
without you by my side
I ran my errands all alone
no one to share my ride
I took a good long walk alone
it didn’t feel the same
I found a ball under the couch
no one to play the game
I miss you more than I can say
out loud without me weeping
I felt you jump, up next to me
last night while I was sleeping
I dreamt, I smiled
my heart was light
your soul had come
to say goodnight
Don’t cry momma, I am loved
you helped me all this way
You found a family who had more time
now all I do is play
I woke to find, your little spot cold
My sads were full and spilled
I miss your kisses, your silly spunk
You’re brave and so strong willed
I pray you’re happy, that I chose well
my heart will heal in time
Forever in my memory
sweet little pup of mine
