Poem By My Daughter

Well-known member
My 10 year old daughter, Jennifer wrote this poem yesterday:



MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

Rainbows, fields all around
Musical, loud, any sort of sound
A bark over here, a woof over there
Black, brown or white, any sort of hair
Poppies, daisies, loads of flowers
Too many superpowers
Kicking a ball, a game of footie
On four legs
No fancy dress
Love and happiness
Have you guessed?
It is no quest
Kicking a ball in a lovely place
Walking around and in no haste

Remember on four legs
No fancy dress
Please now guess
It is no quest
No more clues
I have some news
They are dogs
In heaven above
Kicking a ball
Never to fall
Waiting for owners
While playing a match made in Heaven.

Jennifer wrote this in memory of our dearly loved Declan, who went to the Bridge on 20th May and for Darcy from Canada.

I cried when I read it.
 
Jennifer,

You are such a beautiful young lady, what a heart of gold you have to write such a verse.

Someone has a very proud mum indeed. :flwr:

Please tell Jennifer that is a beautiful poem, she's obviously a very talented and thoughtful young lady.
 
I must admit I cried when she presented the poem to me this afternoon.

The loss of Declan is still so raw, after nearly 6 weeks, and the poem is a great comfort.

At least he's playing football while he waits! :)
 
What a wonderful poem! Jennifer must be a real joy. Thank you and Jennifer for sharing it. I am sure it brought you loads of comfort. It brought tears to my eyes too. It is always so hard to lose one of our pups. They are part of our family although not everyone understands that. But the folks on the board do. I would like to think of my pups who have crossed the bridge in a place just like Jennifer describes!

Oh how beautiful :) I think it's wonderful when youngsters can express themselves so well in poetry.

Jennifer obviously adored Declan and I'll bet he's looking down on her with a waggy tail and licky kisses.

Take care Misty and big hugs to you all. It's bound to still feel raw after your darling boy - six weeks is nothing really :( .

I don't understand anyone who doesn't grieve for their furbabies when they go to the Bridge, I think it hurts more than a human loss. xxxxx
 
What a lovely peom, by a special little girl to a very special dog.... got to grab my tissue now... :(
 
Tears, sniffing and blowing. What a lovely tribute to DeClan. Jennifer expresses herself so well and with such heart. Thank you for sharing such a personal and beautiful love story.
