My Trail Of Tears

Since the Monday night you went to Heaven, it's been almost two full years;

But every week at about that time, I walk my "Trail of Tears"!

We have moved away from that saddened house, to another neighborhood;

But on Monday nights I return to it, and visit places you once stood!

I walk the paths we used to share, I pass by all your spots;

The ones where you always sniffed the most, the ones you loved a lot!

The first I come to are the bushes three, that are planted under stone;

Then I pass your two old buddies house, which you never left alone!

Then there comes the traffic isle, where you loved to jump onto;

And I always worried there was a spider there, who was going to bite on you!

Then up that street it's Edgar's home, your darling old good friend;

You always left your calling card, so he knew time there you'd been!

Of course, there's Scruffy, Chloe and Lexi's homes, where you always made pee-pee;

But then I arrive at the saddest spot, the house where you lived with me!

As I touch the grass and softly weep, I've traversed my"Trail of Tears";

The one we shared in joyous times, the "greatest" of all my years!
