Goodbyes somberly said
to grieve beloved dead
I imagine us resting beneath the trees
A solemn whisper of wisdom carried
On a frosted breeze
I can almost feel you beside me
I will always carry the love you bestowed inside me
I will always cherish you my dearest friend
and I know deep in my heart that we will meet again
I'll see you on the other side of the veil
Because of your faith in me I know I can prevail
Your eyes always held adoration in great supply
And your name means Jehovah Is Good, and that I'll never deny
My life was made worth living
By caring for you each day
I will carry on - with the love you left to guide the way.
- a poem for my dog Tobias who passed away on the second of January 2025.

"no one needs me"
I think to myself
and I stop to turn
at my best friend curled up beside me in bed
he's a lot bigger than me
and a lot harrier than me
but he still needs me
he loves me unconditionally
and wants to play around all the time
his favorite thing to do is go on relaxing walks together
he's a good boy
and he needs me
and it turns out,
I need him too
even if he is just a dog to others
he's what keeps me going
he's my best friend
and now he's awake, licking my face
to remind me I am loved

— The End —
