I'm here at work trying to stay awake. I sometimes write poems but can only do it when they come to me. I can't just sit down and write one. This one came to me and I thought I'd share it. If anyone else feels inspired, they should do the same.

Duke
I'd give my life for you if I could
because without you, my life is no good
You're getting older every day
It breaks my heart to see all that gray.

The time we have left is most dear to me
So I know I shouldn't spend it with worry.
I should cherish evey moment we have together
Just remember, I'll love you forever.

You get so sad when I have to leave
Those flat ears and sad eyes make me want to stay
I know you can't understand my going away
But even when I'm gone, you see,
my heart is with you eternally

There will be no permanent goodbyes
for you'll be in my heart at all times
I'd give my life for you if I could
because without you, my life is no good

Beautiful poem, Val! If Duke could read I know he would love it, but he knows how much you love him anyway! :)

That is so beautiful Val. Thank you for sharing it with us!

I love poetry, but I've never written anything myself. Maybe I'll try sometime.

That is a great idea! I could print it out on velum so it would be sort of see through. Thanks for the idea. When I get the page finished, I'll put it here.

Val,

I am in tears here at work.
That was beautiful - and sums up how I feel about Captain.

Val, you are making Duke so happy and giving him such a great home, I am sure its hard to watch him age but he could not ask for a better life.

Unfortunately we usually do outlive our animals, but that is about the only downside to how much happiness they bring us.
