For Scarlet

Don't rest in peace
little one
Instead
let your spirit
shoot up
from your tail
and into the stars.

Once there
circle around
until you find a new mother
to lick your ears
and brothers
whose feet
you can chew on.


*Thank you all for your love. It warms my heart*

up there in the stars. there is ALWAYS something to chase. Something to smell. And a hand to scratch behind your ears.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry, what a sweet little puppy. Some animals are just too good for this earth.

what a sweet way to let go...beautiful words from a beautiful spirit for another one. I am sure that the puppy feels you love and compassion still.

Your words to the puppy made me feel better about the letting go. What beautiful imagery. What tender, sweet love. A grace-filled fare thee well.

I am gently putting my hand on yours, thousands of miles away and yet not a molecule in-between...like stars.

I'm sad and sorry about your little one. I know she was loved over and above her short time here.

Susanne said...

That's sad. But as you say, the soul lives on...

I wish I could send you pictures as beautiful as yours to express my sympathy and my gratitude for the dog snoring gently at my feet.

Words just don't do it sometimes.

I love the name Scarlet. Poor little pup. So sad.

Oh Hele, I'm so sorry - for both the sweet little puppy who couldn't thrive, and for you, who are left behind to mourn and remember.
I'm holding your hand and crying right next to you.
