IESVS NAZARENVS REX IVDÆORVM

..... Will Miss You!!!

Upon this day I reminisce

with sadness and regret

the loss of my beloved

Special "child" who was my pet.

It's been only a few days of longing

Wishing you'd return to me ...

For though you left some time ago,

I cannot "set you free".

Though time has made it easier,

To go from day to day ...

No one can understand the

"Special" role your life did play.

For every day you were a part,

Of love and joy and life ...

You had a way that focused me

And lessened daily strife.

I'd hurry home to see your face,

Behind that window pane;

Where wiggles, hugs and cuddles

Brightened up the worst of days.

And now I sit, with eyes tear filled,

You are not by my side;

And when I see the window,

It is bare and bleak inside.

Emotions, they are raw today,

I'm simply torn apart ...

For hollow, wrenching feelings

Tear apart this very heart.

An emptiness, that's deeper than

The oceans ... fill my soul;

A painful hunger bites my

Inner self beyond control.

For though time would heal the daily wounds

I wore upon my sleeve,

I shelter from the world outside

Just what you meant to me.

To me, you were more human

Than some others I have known ...

You gave such love and tenderness;

T'was deep within your soul.

Now spring is here, and little things

we loved now cause me harm ...

The walks we'd take around the yard

No longer hold their charm.

I see you as I turn each step,

I watch for you each day ...

Oh little one, I miss you so,...

Much more than words can say
