The Anxious Book Worm

Soft paws on the floor,

a sigh, a look that said I’m home,

You followed every step we took,

never wanting us to feel alone.

The days grew slower,

your breaths more deep,

yet still your eyes would search for us,

for promises we all would keep.

You tried so hard, our sweetest girl,

to stay a little longer here,

to steal one more morning,

to quieten every tear.

But love is not in holding you tight,

it’s knowing when to let you rest,

to trade our schmackos and games,

for peace within your chest.

So run now where your heart feels light,

And beneath the skies forever blue,

the pain is gone, your breaths are easier,

and all our love is forever there with you.

We’ll listen for your gentle sighs and snorts,

in the hush before we sleep,

and feel you curl beside our hearts,

a promise love will always keep.

Goodnight Godbless Angel 🕊️
