Treasured Friend


I lost a treasured friend today

The little dog who used to lay

Her gentle head upon my knee

And shared her silent thoughts with me.


She’ll come no longer to my call

Retrieve no more her favourite ball

A voice far greater than my own

Has called her to his golden throne.


Although my eyes are filled with tears

I thank Him for the happy years

He let her spend down here with me

And for Lacy's love and loyalty.


When it is time for me to go

And join her there, this much I know

I shall not fear the transient dark

Lacy will greet me with a bark.

May you and Cosmo find peace in the days, weeks, months, years ahead. This is so difficult and my heart is with you. This part of the journey is so lonely and I am happy that you have Cosmo to ease your suffering and you, his.

God Bless!

In Friendship,

Joanne,

Thank you so much for the beautiful poem. Yes, my Lacy will be waiting for me one day and what a happy reunion that will be.

I didn't intend to have two dogs, but Cosmo came to live with me and Lacy 10years ago when he wasn't happy being alone while my son was gone to work. Now I know why it went that way, so Cosmo would be with me when Lacy had to leave.

We are grieving, but we are also comforting each other. Cosmo is a sweetheart and is very loving. I'm so glad to have him.

I am so glad you have Cosmo also Jeanette and yes, you will grieve together and help each other through the next difficult days etc.

When we lost our first Schnauzer Wolfgang to diabetes, we came home to our loving and wonderful Willie (Wolfgang's brother) and it was so much easier than coming home to an empty house. Willie needed a lot of love and he didn't understand why Wolfie never returned. It was heartbreaking. With lots of hugs and walks and playing, Willie got through the grief process and lived another 4 years to the age of 13.

Take care and know my prayers are with you.

Hugs,
Joanne & Shadow
