REST IN PEACE, MY BABY (a poem)

 

REST IN PEACE, MY BABY

 

For my late cat Mr. Funny who passed away last weekend, and my late dog Candy who left the Eerth in 2016.

 

Written by Judy Fay London

 

 

The house,

Oh, the house is too quiet now.

I close my eyes,

Hoping your sudden death was just a nightmare.

I open my eyes,

Your favorite spot is still bare.

You’re nowhere to be found.

Why?

 

Ten months,

Ten months was all we had, Mr. Funny,

You left the world too soon,

Too sudden, and too quick.

You were too young to die!

How could this happen?

Why?

 

I miss your tender kisses most,

Your cheek pressed close to mine.

Those loving, gentle face touches

Were sweet and so divine.

I will never forget all those moments.

Never.

 

I buried all your snacks and toys

Deep down inside the clay.

So you would have your favorite things

To guide you on your way.

My daughter is waiting there,

My little dachshund Candy.

That small, brave German pup of mine

Will watch you from her side.

 

I hope,

I hope you curl against her paws,

Protected, safe, and warm.

The dachshund Candy and her baby brother,

Together through the storm.

Please watch over each other there,

Until my time is through.

Wait for me,

My fur babies.
