Dogs- Man's Best Friend

By Sreemathy.K

When someone leaves us eternally,

The void is irreplaceable,

The grief; that can't be understood by all,

The grief; that can't be put into words what one goes through,

I lost my canine on September 29 2021 due to health reasons,

Days just flew away; but not without thinking about him,

I remember all the things he did the moment I step outside the house,

Each time I come back home; my eyes search for him,

But reality hits hard; that he is no more.

Each day I feel bad; when i can't find him at home,

I feel bad; that he is not there to cheer me up,

Seeing his place, his food bowl,everything come back flooding in my mind,

But realizing he is in a better place now gives me solace,

Solace; his sufferings has ended,

Solace; he did his job he came for; that is to love us unconditionally,

Solace; we gave him the best life,

Though short time; he gave us memories to cherish for,

As we believe time heals everything,

It really does at the end,

As whatever happens life must move on!!
