Saying Goodbye

This is a tribute to my Aristotle, I loved him deeply as I do all my pets. It is also about the importance of inoculating them to protect them which I do to all my beloved 4 legged family members. Close to a year now since Aristotle has been gone and I’m still sad.

Saying Goodbye

Aristotle
Aristotle

Today I had to say goodbye,
So painful was for me
You fought so hard to stay
Beyond reality

I said you were a fighter
I saw it in your eyes
From the moment you were born
A tiny thing so spry

You donned me as your servant
Cat’s so funny that they are
Dogs they have a master
Grateful breeds they are by far

But my little angel
You were given to me
You fought to never go
You knew I needed thee

So as I sit upon the deck
And look up on that hill
Where you have been laid to rest
My tears they freely spill

You were such a fighter
You shocked them all they said
They said it was the love
So strongly that we had

They’d never seen a creature
With such a will to live
Beyond all expectation
You proved to them you did

So now my little angel
Never a moment suffer for me
I had to let you go
So that you could run free

I told you that I love you
As the medicine they did give
Our eyes looked at each other
Noses touching as you did
The last words I did tell you
Forever I love you take it with
