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.
