The Day Our Dog Died

It was Sunday morning when I awoke

To see the face of my mum.

She, her eyes full of tears, said

Softly, unsteadily, "She... She's

Gone in her sleep."

I felt upset, yet in a way

Happy -

For she was blind and almost deaf

But full of life.

It seemed a cruel kind of thing,

Like one of the family had died.

I waited until my mum had gone,

And for a while cried.

I went downstairs, my head aching

And my dog gone.
