"A PET WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU"
by Joanne Boyle
by Joanne Boyle
Mum bought me another dog today.
I know that its not you.
I couldn't help but cry
and Mum was crying too.
or want to run and play.
I know that in time though,
it will look at me that way.
When mum put him in my arms,
at first i felt some guilt.
My mind flashed back to you,
sleeping on my quilt.
The little pup then licked me,
and i felt it tickle my hand.
I laughed and looked at Mum,
and she said you'd understand.
I will not forget you Bertie.
"now what shall i call you?
Ill teach you how to play ball,
and lift your paw up too."
Bertie watched from the rainbow bridge.
he barked and wagged his tail.
He was no longer poorly.
No longer old and frail.
He lived on in the memories
and they would never be apart.
A pet will never leave you
without its footprints in your heart.
