Dealing With Loss Will the wind through the pines Give a long lonesome sigh? Will they know of the passing, Or should I tell them a lie. Will the falling oak leaf Know of my sorrow. Will the squirrel in the tree Know my fear of the morrow. The cardinal so red, Will he know of my pain? I wish the sorrow away, Washed pure by the rain. Sunrise in the river bottoms, Through the loneness I toil. My friends no longer with me, My Goldens so loyal. Colors seem so dull Rendered bland by the grief. The passing of my friends, Steals my joy like a thief. Copper, Amber and Hunee Gone from me this past year. The aloneness and sorrow Drown out any cheer. Oh where do the dogs go, The ones we love best. When in passing now gone And for my heart no rest. But go on I must, For that is what must be done. Though three of my shadows Are now lost to the sun. And when out with nature, Doing things we thought fun. Forever in my memory, I’ll see those three run. Lil’ Amber, sweet Hunee, And Copper such a friend, For the happiness you gave, thankfully you had it to lend.             |
