I shed tears and mourn the loss of you.
I will miss your soft nose and kind eyes.
Still, I know your pain is gone and your soul is free.
You were my teacher. From you I learned to live in the moment, and a true love of life.
You were my friend and confidant.
You did not judge me, you loved me even when I could not love myself.
For all the time you will hold a piece of my heart as you run free in heaven’s great herd.  -Leslie Roach
