Poem For Brutus, My soulmate dog Options

[Brutus]

I lost my 13yr old black lab, Brutus, a week ago today. I am having a very difficult time with it. I've had many animals throughout my life that range from dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds..you name it I've had it. But never have I had an animal like Brutus. We had a very special connection. I wrote a poem the past couple days and finished it yesterday on his birthday. I am not an artsy type person, but it felt good to write it. I am no literary genius, just your average person who misses her dog so much it's hard to breathe. Anyhow I hope you like it, I framed it and it is on his shelf with his urn, pictures, 2nd fav toy (his fav went with him), his collar, and a candle. I will try to add a picture later. God I miss him so much.

My Soul Dog Brutus

There will never be another like you,
My Soul Dog that is true.

We could read each others mind, you and I,
What an honor to have you by my side.

I wish you didn’t have to go away,
I wish you at my feet, where you would always lay.

There isn’t a time I don’t remember you there,
I miss you so much it’s hard to bear.

Almost thirteen years ago we started our family,
It’s been a wonderful, full-filling journey.

Remember camping and canoeing in the backwoods?
I wish that’s something again we still could do.

You brought me back when I got us lost up north,
And how about that time at Muskegon fort?

Remember in Grayling, we all got stranded in the dunes?
It’s just not fair you have to leave us so soon.

Charity Island we did explore,
I wish we had time to do so much more.

Remember the Great Lakes and the U.P.?
God we had fun and lots we did see.

How about all those times at Hardy Dam?
We spent lazy days fishing and then we swam.

I will always remember these times so dear,
In my heart you will always be near.

You were my shadow, my rock, and my best friend,
You were loyal and loving to the very end.

We had a connection, you and I,
I’m sure one again I will never find.

I will never forget you, my Soul Dog Brutus, my dear friend,
I try to remember it’s not really the end.

We will see each other again of that I’m sure,
When my time is done and I am no more.

“Brutus”, I will call and I know you will come,
Together we can begin the journeys never done.

"To Where You Are"

Who can say for certain maybe you're still here.
I feel you all around me.
Your memory's so clear.
Deep in the stillness, I can hear you speak.
You're still an inspiration. Can it be ...

That you are my Forever Love. And you are watching over me from up above!

Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant Star.
I wish upon tonight to see you smile!
If only for a while to know you're there.

A breath away's not far to where you are ...

Are you gently sleeping here inside my dream?
And isn't faith believing all power can't be seen.
As my heart holds you just one beat away, I cherish all you gave me everyday!

'Cause you are my Forever Love watching me from up above ...
And I believe that Angels Breathe.
And that Love will live on and never leave!

Fly me up to where you are, beyond the distant Star!
I wish upon tonight to see you Smile if only for a while to know you're there!
A breath away's not far to where you are!

I know you're there! A breath away's not far to where you are!



I see you looking at me, Mommy. And, I'm looking right back at you!

I Love You So Much!!!

For All Ways and in All Ways! Your Soulmate, Brutus xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
