Well guys, we made it through another year!!! yay!!! I must admit I'm ready for my well deserved holiday lol. On my walk the other day I was, of course, thinking of my beautiful Copper dog. Oh how I miss him. This Christmas will feel so very different without my bestest friend here beside me. This got me thinking about all the other furbabies that have passed on this year. There's been so many. Usually I love to right poems, it's how I process my pain and begin to move on, but I guess I'm not quite ready for that step yet. I decided to try something. I asked Chat GP to help me write a poem about my dog that had recently passed on. That is the only info that I gave it. I said "Can you help me write a Christmas Poem about my dog that recently passed on?" What came next instantly brought tears to my eyes. I couldn't have written a nicer poem! So, I figured I would share it here, with all of you. Perhaps we could all take a moment to think about those spending Christmas without their special friend this year. I know, I know... they are still with us... but it's different now. There's no denying that. Anyway, here is the poem. I hope it resonates with you, the way it did for me.
A Christmas Star For You
This Christmas feels a little bare,
Without your paws and love to share.
The tree is up, the lights all glow,
But I miss the friend that I used to know.
Your wagging tail, your joyful bark.
The way you’d chase snowflakes in the park.
Now Winter’s quiet feels so deep,
As memories of you softly creep.
Yet in the sky, a star shines bright.
A guiding warmth on a frosty night.
I feel you near, your spirit true,
A forever gift, my heart holds you.
So this Christmas, though we’re apart,
You’re wrapped in love, deep in my heart.
A furry angel, pure and free, forever watching over me.
