I have no introduction for this poem.
Our Lucy
I want to see you
But you are not here
I see you everywhere in my minds eye
My heart, it’s too hard
Please come back one more day - romp and be naughty
Bug me at my desk, sit on my keyboard
Sit on my papers
Jump on Panda and chase her
I spin you on the desk chair, while you swat at my fingers
You purr, incessantly
You pounce on a mouse outside
And play with it for hours, leaping straight up in the air
Please come back
You are not ever coming back.
aww, so poignant Roberta. It's personal and yet anybody who's lost a beloved pet can relate. I hope you submit these poems somewhere; a lot of people would enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful poem from you (I'm always happy wen I see your name on the list) and even though it's sad to lose a pet, the happy memories do shine though. Just a beautiful expression you gave us today.
