The Disputed Aphorism
Someone a long, long time ago, penned an adage that’s had millenniums run;
It reads, “A coward dies a thousand deaths”, ”A brave man dies but one”!
But this aphorism I must now dispute, for a coward, I do not be;
But I have died a thousand times, since the night that you left me!
My guard was down and I thought it safe, my soulmate had many more years to live;
But “fate” sneaked by my deadly sword, and no more time did he give!
He stole you way while I was asleep, he tiptoed past my side;
When I awoke, you were already gone, now a million tears I’ve cried!
It is true I’ve died a thousand deaths, although my valor still is strong;
But I die each time I realize, you’re not here where you belong!
So this brave man begs to differ, for his heart knows not how to fight;
The pain that has permeated his wounded soul, since that most horrific night!

Oh! Sweet Larry.....indeed the lost of a loved one makes us die a thousand deaths and cry a million tears....I feel you pains Sweet Larry.

Hi Sweet Rose,
There is no pain worse than losing ones soulmate. There is no remedy for the tortured soul.
Hugs, Peace and Love,

Hello Larry. This is so beautifully sad. Your love must have been great. I know how this feels, and know the longing you describe. Pinned and 5 stars.
Hugs and Blessings, Rebecca
Hi Dear Rebecca,
It is so nice to make your acquaintance. My love was great, and will remain that way until my last breath. Nico is the most famous doggie on Cosmo, for I am sure I have penned over a hundred works in his honor. Thank you for your beautiful words, and I look forward to reading some of your prose.
Peace and Love,
xox Larry
I`m right there with you and holding onto you tight! This says it all for me too my Larry and I cry along with you sweetie. There are no words that can describe the depth of that pain because it is immeasurable and unfathomable and totally devastating. Life is beautiful but it`s also so very ugly and cruel. None of us know what we have till it`s taken from us and death is the cruelest trick of all. I love you and Linda and give Cody a hug from auntie G xx
Our Dear G,
Every time that I write about my pain for Nico, I feel like I'm also writing about yours for Andrew. Sometimes, I feel a trace of guilt because Nico was not the product of my seed and was a doggie, not a person. Yet, to me I loved him as dearly as one could love their own son. I don't think any man in history has loved a dog more than I. You and I both love with the depth of our souls, and will cry for our lost loves until our last breath. May we be each others rock to cling to in our depts. of depression.
We all love you,
Linda, Larry and Cody
