Tears In Rain - Gently Passing
I chose the day <br />when she was to die <br />with spunk still in her <br />I entered the small room <br /> <br />where I looked into her wonderful eyes <br />stroked <br />and spoke <br />to her again <br /> <br />though she seemed not to take notice <br />of the gravity of the moment <br />nor the tears <br />forming <br /> <br />that dropped <br />off my cheeks <br />into her fur <br /> <br />injected <br />she fell <br />suddenly asleep <br /> <br />in my arms <br />for the very last time <br /> <br />her memory <br />remains <br />a part <br />of myself <br /> <br />her body <br />remains <br />next to her <br />first born <br /> <br />her soul <br />I maintain <br />moves on <br />in passing <br /> <br />with hopes to meet again <br />sometime… somewhere <br />somehow <br /> <br />I hold fast <br />to thoughts of her <br />and make it so <br /> <br />she’ll turn up <br />in my dreams<br /><br />Tears In Rain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gently-passing/
