A Trilogy Of Tragedy

The Morning was the wee hours of Saturday, our angel Cody laid in his bed;
Too deeply rooted in a sopor, filling us with horrid dread!
We called his Vet when they opened, she said “You need to bring him here”;
We woke him and took him out to potty, he wobbled, augmenting all our fear!
.
The moment she examined him, she said “You have to let him go”;
We asked for fifteen more minutes, as our tears began to flow!
Then we whispered in his ears “I love yous”, as the deadly needles pricked his skin;
He twitched, then sailed to Heaven, eternal sadness to begin!
.
The Afternoon was in a Surgical waiting room, a January Monday, with darkened skies;
I was praying my Father’s risky heart surgery, would not lead to his demise!
But all at once I felt a cold chill, run up and down my spine;
I knew then at that moment, his passing it defined!
.
A Chaplain came to see us, as the Surgeon wept and cried;
“We did all we could to save him, but your Father just has died”!
Two days later he was buried, my heart torn right in two;
Now I visit him quite often, saying, “I’ll never stop loving you”!
.
The Night was on a Monday, our dear Nico had been sick;
The Vet gave him shots and meds in the morning, we thought would do the trick!
When he got home, he had a rally, but three hours later, began to fade;
We thought he just needed some “seepy seep”, and then he’d have it made!
.
He ate two spoonsful of special food, that was supposed to help him heal;
We did not realize at that time, it would be his final meal!
He left our world at around ten-thirty, I laid by him all night;
As my tears inundated his lifeless body, to begin their endless plight!

Etched ever on my Soul
