The Remnants Of You
Your life and its’ remnants now rest on a shrine, these things that were so dear to you;
Each morning I chant, as I pray for your soul, and send my love which is true!
My heart has been broken, since the sad night you left, as your soul floated skyward above;
With it too went a large part of mine, no longer to hold my dear love!
Now these great treasures, that I see every day, a bowl from whence you would eat;
Or the collar you wore, that laid on your neck, and the leash that guided your feet!
The photos so dear, your sweet smiling face, showing your pure love for me;
And the last one, your ashes, that sit in a box, so sacred, the remnants of ye!
Now, I walk daily through the “valley of death”, “yours”, has brought me such tears;
My heart and my soul, are both torn apart, for they both love you so very dear!
I struggle each day to keep going on, the pain, is killing me slow;
I see your sweet face, or hear your soft bark, every place that I go!
The remnants of you, are the remnants of me, for now, I am no longer whole;
I plod through the nights, in the dark of my life, for I’ve lost, the mate of my soul!
The only thing that sustains me now, is the poetry about my love true;
The odes I create with the tears from my soul, as it absorbs all those remnants of you!

Hi Debs,
Last week, upon taking Nico's beloved brother Cody, to his groomer, I met a woman there who had, just as we used to, two brother doggies. We got to talking and I told her that I'd been crying for sixteen months, since losing Nico. She said she understood, that it was like losing a member of your family. I answered, for me, "it was like losing a part of my soul". Thanks, Debs, for your touching emotion.
Hugs, Peace and Love,
xox Larry
Hey Larry I feel your loss more than you know .we had a dog named ginger when I lived with my parents before I got married then divorced but that is a another story itself . She was the sweetest dog . She would always go riding with me in my truck .very loyal she was. When she passed I was in tears . Pets have souls I do believe because I hope to see her one day again. A great write. Hugs to you rockÂ
Hi my Brother Rock,
I know that dogs have souls, because Nico was and always be, my soulmate. His unexpected loss, shook me to the cores of my existence. I've cried for him for over sixteen months, and can see no end in sight, for these tears of dejection. Fortunately for me, my wife and I cry together. We are so happy that you honor him with such great comments.
Hugs, Peace and Love,

That is so beautiful my darling, I`m crying as I`m reading it and for you both. It`s horrible that you have lost him and are suffering so much. I just want to hold you both tight in my arms and keep you safe, I love you both so much. Grief never leaves us sweetie because we love our family so much, but God helps us cope with it by teaching us how to live with it. I love this piece and I`m very proud of you sweetie. Nico just loves your poetry and I`m sure he enjoys it and that it brings him a lot of comfort as you write it because I know he is still with you and watching over you, he will be able to hear your words as you think them. When you see him in your dreams it is real and he`s showing you that he is there with you both and protecting you.
God bless and keep you safe for me.
I love you both sweetie

Hi, our dear Georgina,
Sometimes, I wish that I was Rip Van Winkle, so that I could fall asleep and dream of him for twenty years. I am very fortunate to have Linda, who shares in the grief of his loss with me. Yet, some of my deepest periods of mourning are in the wee hours of the night, as Linda sleeps, and I am at my writing table as the teardrops moisten my pen. Thank you so much for your understanding and love, which has been such a buoy for me, in the months since our souls met.
All our love,
L & L
You`re welcome sweetie and always remember that I`m thinking of you always and that I love you both dearly and I`m sending my love to Nico and Cody too.
God bless
G xx
