A snowy evening in January 2018 I lost my friend, my companion, my heart. He was a 11 pound miniature Dachshund called Renny Whiteoak. I found this poem, unknown author, which reflects my grief:
You no longer greet me as I walk through the door
You’re not there to make me smile, to make me laugh any more.
Life seems quiet without you, you were more than a pet
You were a family member, a friend, someone I’ll never forget
It will take time to heal, or the sorrow to go away
I still listen for you, and miss you every day.
You were such a companion, rambunctious, noisy and true,
My heart will always wear the footprints left by you.
You’re not there to make me smile, to make me laugh any more.
Life seems quiet without you, you were more than a pet
You were a family member, a friend, someone I’ll never forget
It will take time to heal, or the sorrow to go away
I still listen for you, and miss you every day.
You were such a companion, rambunctious, noisy and true,
My heart will always wear the footprints left by you.
