Friendship Never Dies



I can remember that day,
Still it’s clear in my core.
You came home, pot of joy.
You played, you jumped,
You rolled all over me,
Like my baby,
Another part of my heart.
You walked, you ran,
You smiled to me,
I’ll always cherish those days,
In my deepest corner.
I pray for you, little child,
Be safe wherever you are now.
Be happy wherever you are now.
My true friend, my closest one.
All say you’re dead,
But I know, when all is said and done,
Friendship stands alone,
‘Cause, Friendship never dies.


This poem is written from my softest core. Today, my boyfriend's pet dog, Jimmy, passed away. This poem is written in fond memory of Jimmy and dedicated to all of them who had gone through this pain. Thanks for reading. I want you to pray for Jimmy.

  2. Aw. What a beautiful, tender tribute! and the comfort lies in exactly what you said..." But I know, when all is said and done,
    Friendship stands alone,
    ‘Cause, Friendship never dies." So true. Well done.

  12. This goes straight to my heart. Jimmy looks so sweet and loving.........and it sounds like he loved life very much and brought you joy. No one loves us like our dogs do. It is so hard to lose them. In this post, he will be remembered, in return for all he gave.
