Thought there was a writing section on the site I could put this in. I was wrong, apparently, so I hope no one minds me placing this here. As most of you probably know, our family dog is close to death. Feeling distressed throughout the day, I conjured this up. Eulogy for Riley The house reeks of death. Not the decomposition of bodies, But rather the decay of our joy, The only smile coming from the child Who doesn't grasp the concept of demise. Although I'm glad to be there during his final days, I regret the moments I could've spent playing. Instead of appreciating his beloved life, Like when I was a litlte kid, I let technology occupy my hands and my mind, Precious moments wasted. Now he grows sickly. He's been lying in place, Not moving for days, Death stole his ability to eat. The Reaper stands overhead, Counting down his final hours. When the clock runs out, They'll begin their voyage, One in which illness is washed away, Leaving him in his prime. Once their journey comes to an end, There he'll see Callie once again, Both the best they've ever been, They'll await to see their master once again. Generous as the Reaper is, Gifting us time to spend, The house stands silent, Weeping at his arrival. Even the foundation of the family, The strongest man I know, Seems frail before this guest, As if words can shatter what's left. It's a hefty burden he bears, Forced to stand strong, Or else the rest of the house will follow, Crumbling around him. Through both misery and bliss, You've watched me mature. Goodbye, old friend. I'll miss you, Riley... Riley died on 4/18/16 Edited by Amit Brighten, Apr 18 2016, 04:08 PM.
