My daughter's poem.

Fatboy4ever · 05-26-2011, 09:29 AM

About a year ago we lost our beloved dog Enya to Anaplasmosis. We gained some good friends from this website and tremendous support. The loss of Enya affected my entire family deeply and in particular my daughter Morgan. Just a few days ago she was required to write a poem for class and this is what she wrote. I thought I would share it with my friends here.

Never Shall I Forget

NEVER SHALL I FORGET the first day she came into my life.
Never shall I forget the love I saw in her eyes.
Never shall I forget the days I spent with her doing nothing but laying in the yard basking in the sun, lost in endless thought.
Never shall I forget the long walks to the beach, my only true friend. She kept my secrets safe.
Never shall I forget the day it turned upside down and I couldn’t stop it. I was powerless.
Never shall I forget how she suffered.
Never shall I forget watching her life slowly recede from her eyes, like the sea does when its low tide.
Never shall I forget watching her take her last breath and then have her body go limp.
Never shall I forget that day, imprinted in my memory for the rest of my life.
Never shall I forget how I lost my best friend.
Never shall I forget Enya, an angel in dog form. She was brought into my life when I needed her the most, but taken away when it became better.
Never shall I forget.
Never.

Aw! Bless her heart. Writing is a wonderful, productive way to express grief. Enya must have been an amazing dog. Please give Morgan a big hug!

Im crying right now.... Such a sweet, sad and emotional poem. She writes beautifully. I would frame that and place in on the wall in honor of Enya and the joy she brought your family.

Thank you all for the nice comments. My daughter was happy that I shared her poem with you. It is truly amazing how these creatures can affect our very souls. Have a great memorial day weekend.
