Sadie
If I had known that today our time was near the end
I would have done things differently, my forever friend.
I would have stayed right next to you every moment today
and cherished each one and held you as you passed away.
But I thought I'd see you in the morning sun ...
coming for your kisses and doggy massage and bowing
while looking at me with your love filled brown eyes
Instead I passed by as you napped on the floor,
not knowing for a second I wouldn't get your licks anymore.
I wasn't thinking of the time when I’d see you no more.
You were just a baby full of energy and life.
But if I had one inkling that our time was at the end
I would have done things so differently, my forever friend. ♡
