⁓ Eternal Remembrance ⁓

- A Tribute To My Beloved Dog, "Shiro" -

Don't harbor thoughts of possession's hold.

In separation's ache, my heart turns cold.

Fear of parting, fear of death,

No vows should steal my life's breath.

In longing's hollow, my soul roams,

In the echo of silence, memories unfold,

A bond unbroken, though time takes its toll.

Through tears that fall, my love still shows,

In the depths of sorrow, I find my own.

...

For you, my beloved Shiro...

you will be forever cherished in my heart.

As an owner of two aging cats, I can identify with this one. Anyone who says they aren't family members has never had a pet.
