A Heart Once Golden

Beneath the fading autumn skies, I find,

Your gentle pawprints etched deep in my mind.

A Labrador’s warmth, steadfast and true,

Now shadows my days with skies turned blue.

The wag of your tail, the gleam in your eye,

A love so fierce, I can’t deny.

But silence now fills where laughter stayed,

And echoes of barks in memory played.

Though grief weighs heavy, your spirit will soar,

A golden heart gone, but cherished evermore.

    Awwww 🥺 I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your fur baby. Sending comforting 🤗 to mend your broken heart 💔

    I myself have lost many fur babies in the 44 years I’ve been on this planet we call earth. I still miss each and every one of them. Especially my cat Charlie, we lost years ago when we were moving here to Kansas. He either became a Houdini and magically escaped from the car window or someone took him. We searched for days, checking shelters, the rest area we were at when he disappeared, side streets, gas stations, and neighborhood’s. He was nowhere to be found. So we had no choice but to keep moving.

    I was devastated. I cried for days. That cat taught me how to crawl when I was little. That’s at least what my adopted mother told me. I was really close to him. I practically grew up with him.

    The other animals I had; some died and others were given to another family for different reasons. Mainly because we couldn’t have them, due to having to move and couldn’t have animals.
