A WORLD WITH OUT YOU......ROTTWEILER POEM

by LINA
(SYDNEY AUSTRALIA)

I SAW THIS ON THE INTERNET AND FOR THIS ONE YOU WILL NEED A BOX OF TISSUES.

WHEN I READ THIS I CRIED AS IT REMINDED ME OF MY BEST MATE OF 13 YEARS. HE PASSED AWAY JUST OVER TWO YEARS AGO. HIS NAME WAS SARG AND HE WAS MY HERO. ATTACHED IS PHOTO OF HIM WHEN HE WAS 3 YEARS OLD AND AT 8 WEEKS OF AGE.

AND THE SECOND PICTURE IS MY CURRENT ROTTWEILER AND HIS NAME IS GUNTHER AND HE IS 9 MONTHS OLD NOW. THEY JUST LOOK THE SAME. IT'S LIKE REALLY WEIRD BECAUSE GUNTHER IS SO LIKE MY PREVIOUS ROTTWEILER.

This is to all of you that have lost a beloved friend

A WORLD WITHOUT YOU...........

I went outside this morning, and nothing was the same

You didn't greet me this time when I called your name

For the first time in a long time, the paper wasn't torn

The world is so different, all I do is mourn




I left a bowl of food for you, that I know you'll never eat

The yard outside sits alone, and will no longer feel your feet

Your frisbee is laying on the porch, the holes you dug are still there




Your doggy brush is by the door, your toys are everywhere

Your leash is waiting by the gate for the walk we just can't take

All the memories of you I see, as my heart begins to break

As I stood there and thought of you, a tear dropped from my eye

I never thought the day would come, the day that you would die



As the tears rolled down my face, I dropped to my knees in sorrow

I can barely face today, how will I feel tomorrow?

As I buried my face in my hands, I bawled like never before

When I was done, I took a breath, and walked back in the door




I got dressed and went to work, I dreaded coming home

Who would be there to greet me? Now I face the world alone

Now I lay here in my bed, all the world is dark

It is way too quiet outside, I long for just one more bark




Please come tackle me one more time, and track mud on the floor

Drool all over my toes again, chew up a sock once more

Come and lick my tears away, let me touch your fur

I want to see your soft brown eyes, I want things the way they were
As I cry myself to sleep, I remember as I close my lids

Tomorrow is a closer day, that we meet at the Rainbow Bridge...
