Tess's collar
Well people its been 3 years this month since Tess passed away unexpectedly.
Tess 10.06.2004 -2.06.2008
Around that time I think, I wrote a poem called collars well having gone through the collar box today I rewrote it to this.
I should mention that Tess was my Staffordshire Bull Terrier not a cat.
Collars
Is there nothing left of you for me
of long summer days that used to be,
all I have is my memories of you
among my souvenirs.
A photograph or two
the collar worn by you,
rosettes both red and blue
among my souvenirs.
A few more special tokens
rest within my treasure chest,
As I seek some part of you
among my souvenirs.
I hold your collar and count the memories all
and as my tear drops start to fall,
I find my broken heart
still among my souvenirs.
The space in my heart I gave to you, time heals still
in my head memories of you I find, Staffie smile, wagging tail,
happy walks, snapshots of moments shared with you.
among my most treasured souvenirs.
