If you had to go
Leave us, as in, leave leave.
My heart would utter a thunderous "no"
Salty tears would soften my cheeks
Yet I would try to understand
I wouldn't want you to hurt anymore
And I'd ask you to remember
That I've only wanted you to be happy
And cared for
I think you'd reassure me
Say something like
You know what the stars in the sky are for,
Right?
Well, they're there to say
We're shining for you
And while we can't be there
To do life anymore
To be a constant
To comfort you
While the sky is
The only place we can go on
It's up to you to make us proud
And do it right.
Do right.
We know you'll do right.

Beautiful, love it!
Marls and you are in my thoughts; it's so hard when part of your family isn't well.
I can truly appreciate and understand your sorrow, Sister. Now for a science speel I just can't help...God designed in us an innate love for nature ("biophilia") and all of His Creation...never for one minute feel silly for being so captivated and attached to yet another element of God's great design. I'm with you on this one, Sister...
That is a beautiful poem. Did you write it? WOW
Poor Marley, I will pray for him, and for you guys as well. Bless
These comments are all so precious; thank you.
yes, I wrote the poem for Marley.
I love that picture of Marley and your poem is so beautiful. I completely understand what it's like to be caught in the uncertainty and helplessness with a sick pet, we just hope everything turns out well. In the meantime, I'm sure Mr. M is just ecstatic to be back home and filled with love.
