Loving Death
Tomorrow I must say goodbye
You have tried to stay, for me
Last week you asked to be let go
I cannot ask you to keep trying
It isn't fair when you are ready to go
As  my heart breaks, it also is hopeful
You are leaving for a long wait
Waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge
With Hawkeye, your predecessorÂ
Pain free, running, bucking, farting
My heart horse reincarnated
I will now have lost you twice
Twice the heart ache, yet twice the love
I would not be who I am without you
My teacher of life lessons, again I graduate
Tomorrow I will drive with you to the end
I will weep for the time we will no longer have
Weep for my failures to protect you
Memories will leak down my face as I leave you
My heart will ache and a part will always stay with you
This night, I will gather friends
Close company, those who knew you
We will celebrate your life with a toast
Surrounded by loving friends who know
Know how much I miss you at this, the end

Hi Karina, letting go is difficult, but is also a release of pain### a nice poem of gratitude rather than of grief### the memories will linger in our hearts forever. I have a blond 15 year old Labrador, I often call him Grandpa lol, I spared his life 3 times already because wasn't ready yet, but when that time comes, I just don't know what to do, or just embrace the fact that nothing lives forever.

Thank you. I said goodbye Tuesday evening. It was rough the evening before when I put his memorial album together.. but the poem really helped ease my pain. I had many incredible folks comment on how he had affected them over the 18 years he was with me. Some new but incredibly wonderful friends (I am beginning to realize that I attract awesomeness and need to recognize it) really made a huge effort to make that day brighter and it really did!
