Eulogy for Lily

People can let you know

The moment they feel unwell or sick

The main event is sat before table

never always as clear with those that cannot speak to us to ask for help.

The event may be passed over like a paper towel

The upright life has another facet, gesture and whisper, but not recognised at once

The care of our beloved pets exceeds logic but revolves around the silence, How can we know when its time, time to react to our thoughts and make action

If only we might communicate, through precious literature, knowledge or hunch. Our pets serve us with their love, without demand. At no time are they lookinģ for us to suit their lives, yet we do it anyway. We know, or believe we know their inner- most desires.

The sad events of any loving entity make leaving the earth a soulful, heart-breaking time.

Our love reciprocal gives us a reason to worry beyond reason almost before a predicted outcome

Then closing their eyes for the last time need not be as sad but merely a transition or gateway to the Summerlands. Loving us as they do it is never final, but significant only in a physical state

Their love and spirit for us lives forever. Returning to the stars in the sky, Lily shines on her way to eternity knowing her life was precious and fulfilling in leaving pawprints in our hearts and to stardust fom whence she came.
