Don’t Cry For Me (Full Poem)
Don’t grieve too long, for now I’m free,I’ve followed the path, God set for me.
I ran to him, when I heard him call,
No more time for fetch, nor catch a ball.
I could not stay, another day,
To bark, to love, to romp or play.
Games left unplayed, must stay that way,
I found such peace, it made my day.
My parting left you, with a void,
Please fill it with, remembered joy.
A friendship shared, your bark, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things, I too shall miss.
Be not burdened, with ties of sorrow,
I wish you sunshine and joys of tomorrow.
My life was full, you gave so much,
your time, your love and gentle touch.
Perhaps my time seemed, all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now, with undue grief.
Lift up your head and share with me,
God needed me here and set me free.
These words are a soft whisper from your dog to your heart, encouraging you to hold on to love, not pain — to remember the joy, not just the loss.
