Sable

My sweet Sable baby..
You were right beside me,
Through the darkest of my days;
Now I hold you in my arms,
Your breath still warm against my hand;
Our hearts still beat together,
And I wonder if you understand.
Through the hours that I held you,
Before the light did leave your soul;
I knew a way to keep you,
Forever in my hold.
I snipped the hair from around your eyes,
So I would always see;
The beauty that surrounds me,
Even in times of need.
I snipped the hair from around your ears,
So I would always hear;
Music in the distance,
To quiet any fears.
I snipped the hair from across your back,
To bring me strength in time of need;
And the power of your essence,
Would always be with me.
I snipped the hair from around your heart,
That beat in time with mine;
So I would know that love would find me,
At some distant time.
And so, your life slipped out of mine,
On a quiet Fall-like day;
But I knew that a part of you,
Was always here to stay.
See you at Rainbow Bridge my sweet girl.

    What a beautiful poem, and a beautiful little dog. My dog Sable is posted on this site also, and we truly miss her. She left us September 2014. My heart goes out to you, and may God bless you.
