My
heart is weeping tonight,
Unendurable
loss of my very best friend.
Drowned
in tears that can not revive
or
breathe life into your small wet body.
Heart
wrenching sobs, for a little brown bird
My
shadow, my constant companion,
Those
little pattering feet, not to be left behind,
A loyal
friend so gentle and kind.
Awake
each morning snuggled on my pillow,
Precious
Bobbie, Dusty the cat, and I.
Stretching
and preening your feathers and me.
soft
wrinkles and lashes get loving care
from
my sweet inquisitive friend.
We
enjoyed the journey, patient, traveling pal
Celebrating
life and the joy of new friends,
O¹er
prairie, desert, mountains and tall trees
Nary
a complaint from this little one.
Oh...
simpatico friend, I miss you so.
intuitive
nature, unconditional love, gentle and kind
You
were sunshine to my battered soul,
Accepted
me as I am, fragile, fallible, and failing.
The
spontaneous, passionate, playful me is gone
Bleak,
scattered thoughts return, spinning, ringing
I want
to join my little friend,
And
leave this world for what it¹s worth.
I want
to live with you Bobbie,
With
undaunting dreams, unfinished life
How
can I go on without you my best friend.
An
incomplete soul, forever to be.
