A trustworthy companion

He suffered in silence
Many months of illness engorged his failing body
Yet tonight, tonight he is finally free
I could sense it
His untimely end, it drew closer
With every struggled breath  
In every tiny motion of his heavy head,
Every whimper he elicits from his cushiony bed
That night i said a prayer for him
A whispered plea
“please God, let him be at peace”
The last precious hours l spent with him  
He lay cradled in my arms
I stroked his face, and softly spoke words of comfort to calm
I tried to give him warmth and love which he so rightfully deserved
But when the morning came alight, he no longer stirred
Although his passing was expected, the emptiness quickly seeped in
Our beloved dog, of 19 years was gone. Now the tears begin
We placed a bouquet of flowers, and said our loving goodbyes
But a part of the family you will always be, tightly bound and tied
I just want to say I’m proud of you
I’m grateful for your being
This great sadness you are witnessing, does not justify my feelings
I’m glad your no longer suffering, it was your time to leave
And now we do what families do, we celebrate your life, we grieve
Though we are apart for now, it is not the end.
You have been a loyal companion, a truly trustworthy friend
I will always love you
I will never forget  x

In loving memory of my dog-Jake
