To Diego 🩷

If it happened the other way around

If you outlived us

And had to bear the loss of us from your life

That would have been highly unjust


It is with quiet deliberation that your kind live short lives.

Who made us all knows you gave enough to your humans for a lifetime

Enough joy, enough love, enough peace

To carry us long after you left us.


There will be no other dog like you Diego

Although we may never meet again in this plane of existence 

I look forward to chilling in the afterlife on a comfy couch

To your gentle reappearance

Soundlessly placing your ball right next to my lap

And patiently looking up at me

Mouth half open, tongue half out, eyes wide

Front legs pawing at me

What a delight,  can hardly wait for that sight


You gave us more than we could ever give you,

And it will take all our days to love you enough to only balance the scales.

The human paradox 

Where love grows with the tragedy of loss

You will be missed beyond words, beyond tears,

Through all the rest of our years.
