Flick Poem by Dcfizban@hotmail.com Cadywold

He will never be forgotten,
he's always in our heart
'the little man' was my best friend
not so soon did I think he'd depart

So sudden did it happen
so trivial did it seem
one moment he was bouncing
the next he was in pain

It didnt get any better
it just got bloody worse
his back legs wouldnt move no more
his front did all the work

Over the next few days his front,
refused to work as well
paralyzed completely from the neck
we're bloody mad as hell

Release me, now its my time to go
I heard him in my head
you've all been so good to me
the best a dog can get

The vets they did examine him
laying paralyzed on the bed
'We really need to put him down'
'Its for the best' they said

We said goodbyes, he kissed our noses
tears running down my face
it isnt fair, its a damn disgrace
to take 'our little man' from this beloved place

Cradled in my wifes embrace
his heart began to stop
his loving looks he gave her
'goodbye my life is up'

We all came close, we cried, he'd died
so peaceful was his face
released from his broken body
now free in time and space

He visits, he will not leave
to keep us company
until the day we can move on
he'll stay to help us grieve.
