"The journey is the reward."
- Steve Jobs
She lay silently,
only her breathing is heard.
No more barking,
or chasing the cat.
She just calmly lay on her favorite mat.
She shakes and quivers,
and quietly rolls over.
She looks up slowly,
her eyes have lost their silvery glow,
but the puppy's sparkles,
just refused to go away.
Her tail wagged softly,
and I smiled.
No more walks,
or summer games,
just memories
and faceless names.
The empty spot where she used to lay,
makes me sad to think she's gone away.
Farewell, Farewell,
my loyal friend,
I held you close to the very end.
So many things I wanted to say.
But silently,
you slipped away.
Farewell.
