Poem Commentary

To my freind, my family, my confidant, my pet.  I had to let you go tonight...You will be forever missed.

My Baby Blue

Tonight I had to say goodbye to you

I cried as I held you, my baby Blue

Nine long years you shared our life

Through happiness and times of strife

 

I remember when we adopted you

You kissed my hand my baby Blue

We took you with us to share our home

From our lives you didn’t roam

 

You rarely spoke except to growl

At enemies upon the prowl

Yet you’d befriend the smallest kind

Rabbits, squirrels you didn’t mind

 

You shared your food with the birds that came

And shared your water just the same

You’d walk with me on summer days

And smiled at me for the slightest praise

 

You hated water that’s a fact

To a hose or a tub you would over react

But to a brush you would sit so still

A scratch on the belly gave you such a thrill

 

But old man the time had come

The tears have flowed until I’m numb

I said goodbye to our friendship true

I’ll miss you always, my baby Blue

I have had many named "blue" and loved in the same spirit too. It i so hard to let go, but like BDC says they are always with you. May your heart love again and reminisce with peaceful memores of a special friendship and love. Write on...

You just stole my heart away and I'm sure Baby Blue has this wonderful dedication in his book of memories. He knows how much you love him because he hears you and feels your inner most emotions. He hasn't left you he's still beside you in spirit. Your heartfelt love for animals is felt in your words, words with hunger, hope and desire. I love animals more than I love most people, my family is made up of five dogs and a stray cat I call no-name. I hope you don’t mind, I’m going to put their story on your profile page. God bless you my friend, LOL, BDC

Being a dog lover, this poem touched me. This was so tender and loving. You were able to show the character of your baby Blue and your deep love for this beloved pet. Good Bye! Baby Blue.

Thanks. I adopted a new dog last weekend. Half Chow/Half Border Collie. 8 months old and 33 lbs of energy but I love her.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
