My love will stay beyond this time
The heart stops, the beat dropsNever knowing that it would stop
But now it has, on this new dayTo take away, what could not stay
Water flowing from my eyesExpressing what I could not hide
Love within my heart explodesRelease myself, nothing untold
My love, our past stays in my heartEven though we're far apart
Move my hands into the dirtBreathing in to feel my hurt
Yet breathing in shows I'm alive,That I'm expanding into my life
My love will stay, yet life moves onKnowing that my friend Is gone
This poem is dedicated to my dog, Willi, who I love so much. This morning he passed away. Then we had a beautiful ceremony, before burying him in the backyard. I will always remember all the good times together, how much he has taught me and how much he has helped me grow from a boy into a man. With his ferocious spirit, unwavering will and the wisdom that he gained throughout his life. You will always be loved and remembered my friend
