Losing a dog leaves a hole in your heart,

You simply just wait for your life to restart.

The hurt is so deep that you wonder just how,

You’ll ever recover from pain you feel now.

But time is a blessing and memories are gold.

The years that you loved her and watched her grow old,

Are gifts that she leaves you to treasure and then,

One day you’ll see her and love her again.
