Missing Him
A memorial poem
by Janet Sobczyk, 2018
She wandered the house,
looking
for him, lost, alone.
He’s gone, she didn’t
understand
why, why was he taken?
She laid down, weary
with grief, sleeping the
day away.
His scent lingered, drawn
to it
at night, waiting for him
to return.
She knew he was ill,
fading
into a skeleton, barely
able to eat.
Everyone thought, she’d
go
first from the stroke,
but she rebounded.
could be done, it was
over.
Lacey mourned her
constant
companion, her litter
mate, Tanner.
 |
| Lacey and Tanner holding paws. |
 |
| Lacey alone. Postscript... Lacey mourned Tanner less than 2 months before joining him. It's hard to lose two beloved dogs in such a short time. |
