Moose, I will always love you..... Options

[Pamela]

I Never Knew

I never knew how loud silence could be,
It's something I've learned since you left me.
No click of your nails on the kitchen floor,
No sound of your paws thumping on the side door.

No bark of warning as strangers pass by,
No settling into bed to the sound of your sigh.
And during the night I wake no more
To the comforting sound of your gentle snore.

Instead I wake to the sound of my tears,
As I dream of the sounds from our happy years.
Not only do I miss the touch of you ...
I miss the sounds that left with you, too.

I never knew how loud silence could be,
Just one more lesson you taught to me.
So many things I learned from you,
Like the sound of silence ... I've learned that, too.

Pamela, that's just beautiful! I haven't seen that poem before. I have already copied it to add to my tribute wall at work for Rachael. It certainly brought tears to my eyes, though, reading it for the first time.

I can just feel the intense love that you and Moose shared...and STILL share!
I just know Moose is watching down over you and missing you too.
