A Sweet Gift Of God Poem by Sreekala Sukumaran
A Sweet Gift Of God
A sweet gift of God
Had a sweet loving friend called Bingo
He was very good and attached
Sensible and hated loud noises
At times very naughty too.
On a bright sunny day I found him
Oh! Such a loving friend he was
On that special occasion
Oh! Just cannot forget him.
So innocent and caring he was
Very understanding and lovable
Very sweet and pretty
So much faith he had in me.
With his glittering eyes looked upon me
Kissed me with his sweet mouth
Just licked me with his long tongue
And holds me tight with his loving hairy hands
He had a feeling of security
Used to understand me well
Never spoke a word to me
Always had a loving smile for me
We used to play with each other
Enjoyed each other’s company
We were in our world
Just always together
Oh that horrible day
How I wish it didn’t happen
Oh just prayed to the Almighty
How am I going to bear it…?
He had a terrible fall
Could hardly move after it
Wanted me to be beside him
And crawled into my hands
I was with him the whole day
And didn’t want to loose him
Was there with him all through
Just seeing his last moments
Finding hard to breathe
And no way to survive
At last he left me
Leaving me all alone
I could only stand beside him
And pray for his soul
To rest in peace
For my loving friend Bingo
God‘s gift for me just for few months
Was gifted to care and love him
Became a pet of our family
None other than my sweet loving
Bingo the sweetest squirrel…..
nice poem... agree with DICKSON here... it's just sometimes people do not recognize God's gifts... good to know people like you who appreciates them!
I can very well relate to that. The death of a pet can make one very depressed. But the sweet memories of a great time spent with our pet can soothe us even though our pet can never come back to us. Great piece of writing here - thanks for sharing.

Strong Poem and nice tribute to Bingo…who cares for such petty things [creature] except Poet like…you? 10+ Ms. Nivedita UK
Beatiful strong poem. Made me immediately think of the poem 'eternity' by W. Blake. Most of the beauty in our lives is transient. I do not have too much of problems avoiding to get too attached to things of beauty. There are so many. But our human closest relationships are very different. I refuse to give up attachment to the wonderful humans in my life. When they are gone forever it can be devastating, but with time, the sadness brings something sweet in terms of grace and gratitude. After a while we can see they were truly sweet gifts of God. Congrats with this wonderful poem and all the best Hans PS: I have written some comments on the William's Blake 'eternity', you may like to read.
