[bodytext] => Dusty Tonight as I held you in my arms I saw in your eyes the fear and the trust Fear because of the pain that racked your body The trust because no matter what we were together Fourteen wonderful years you were my joy A bundle of unconditional love and happiness We traversed the valleys and mountain tops of life Hand in hand, paw to paw we lived and loved You, as much as we, raised our children Taught them the value of faithfulness and devotion A constant and consistent companion in life Always there when needed Thru all those years our bond was never severed Nothing able to separate our hearts Nor shall death do so now For we are in so many ways one But for the first time I am afraid Afraid I have let you down Violated that trust we have My heart in agony pleads for forgiveness The doctors said you had no chance That you were suffering and dying Pools of blood you were coughing up And cancer racked your body But in your eyes I saw recognition Saw the happiness and joy at my touch And your trust in me Indeed it will haunt me all my days I petted and soothed you as you died Sending you to be with God forever in peace I take little comfort in knowing that right now I feel only the bitter pain of my betrayal of your trust Yes I know it was the right thing to do And I know I did it out of my great love for you But my heart will forever be my accuser Forever blame me You’ve been gone an hour now And I write to you this poem I believe God in His mercy will allow You to know how agonizing this was for us Just know my friend I am aware death cannot diminish love That love is the eternal flame of life Burning within us forever You cannot come back to me But I will assuredly come to you And once more we will know the joy of love Without any finite restrictions or burdens But for now your loss is overwhelming Bearing heavy upon my soul You are so much more than a companion or pet You are my great friend Russ [comments] => 7 [counter] => 189 [topic] => 38 [informant] => Lone_er [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Tributes )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
