My Witness ~ A Tribute to My Dog

I held you in my arms

As you passed over,

The veil so thin sometimes;

I can almost touch you still —

The smell of your fur is

The same,

The softness of your body is

The same,

The willingness to be stroked and loved is

The same — yet different.

I am but my own witness now

To your love, to your receiving;

And being it,

I shall always remember

What we had together!

~Wendy Van de Poll, MS, CEOL
