Thinkin' of You


Sunny Saturday.  Leaves abound on the ground.  Your wood carving stands proud and tall. Yet, I miss you so. All is lost without you. Time
marches on, waits for no one.  Trite but true.  My sweet Sue.

Since you left me, 2 and a half months ago, I think of you every day, and it feels like we're still together.  No amount of time will erase that.  Sometimes tears flow at unexpected times like last night. I thought I might have to pull over but managed to steer safely on home.  Moments of our times together come and go but never fade.  Your presence is as vivid in sun or shade.

Just want you to know the kits are keeping me good company.  But they'll never replace a single golden hair on your head.  Your silky fur, a blam to my anxious soul, your steadfast gaze reassured me so.  Your companionship was stellar, your loyalty unlike any other. 

Thank you for 14 enchanting years.

Sunday Dreams


Autumn days are here
The start of another year
Without
My Suzy.


Falling leaves drift down
All around the ground
Without
My Suzy.


Remember days past
A year ago last
With
My Suzy.


When I rustled leaves and
Walked past streams
With
My Suzy.


Here's to you
Ever so true
Memories of
My Suzy.
