Animal Rights and Other Poetry By Shenita Etwaroo From All-Creatures.org

I saw you smile as I would laugh,
You were my cuddly, better half.
The only one of whom I was so fond,
Blinked just one time, and then you were gone.
Still, despite our home feeling vacant;
I know that I will surely make it,
Feeling you’re still by my side.
With every day, and every night,
‘Til I join you in the sky,
I’ll be here, making you proud,
You can be my watchful eye,
Shining through between the clouds.
There’s silence as I make my rounds,
Still I hear your delightful sounds;
I see you here, heart so divine,
Those loving brown eyes meet with mine.
It’s what keeps my sorrows at bay, alas,
Stopping my heart from beating too fast.
‘Til I join you in the sky,
I’ll be here, making you proud,
You can be my watchful eye,
Shining through between the clouds.
It may seem like you’re far away
But I know that you’re here to stay…
‘Til I join you in the sky,
I’ll be here, making you proud;
You can be my watchful eye,
Shining through between the clouds.
