FOR IMAGINOUS
By Stephanie Sheme 1999
 
I loved you since the day I found you.
I cleaned you up and held you tight.
Told you  would always have a home
gave you clean water, food and Ferretone.
 
I hear memories are golden
and I know it is true
but I do not want your memories
I only want you.
 
In life I loved dearly
In death I love you still
But there's a hole in my heart
that only you can fill.
 
If tears could lead the way to you
I would follow them right now
and find that place where you are and bring you home somehow.
 
I know  if love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
But instead I held your sweet body close and closed my eyes and cried.
