For those who have (ever) lost a pet:
What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time.
It is the shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
(Crowfoot~Chief of the Blackfeet)
I shall walk in the sun above
Whose golden light you loved.
I shall weep alone and stiring, touch an empty place.
I shall write uninterrupted.
Would that your gentle paw could stir my moving pen once again.
I shall see beauty, but none to match your living grace.
I shall hear music, but none so sweet as the droning song with which you loved me.
I shall fill my days, but I shall not, can not forget.
Sleep soft, dear friend, for while I live you shall not die.
(Michael Joseph)
