A Bond of Love

While playing in the meadow
Or basking in the sun
I sometimes stop to smell the wind
It's scent a familiar one
Of all my favorite people
The ones I hold so dear
Come rushing on each gentle breeze
Because they are so near.
But still I feel no sadness
As I go back to my play
For I know nothing can break love's bond
So we'll be together, forever, someday.

This is beautiful ~ it describes perfectly how I know my sweet babies are ~ perfect bliss ~ remembering us when the gentle wind blows and sun shines softly in that special love filled way ~ thank you so much for the vision of happiness ~

Sincerely,
Kathryn

Kathryn,
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad my poem helped you feel a little better for the moment. It is so very hard to lose your Furbabies, be it one, ten or more, we miss them all and look forward to the time when we see them all again.
My heart is withyou,
Cindi

That is truly a beautiful poem, and I get to read a lot of them (people send them to me). I have found that the deepest love leads to the deepest pain, and when people love and hurt deeply, poetry usually comes out of the wound. Without doubt, of the tens of thousands of people I have me online, the ones whose love is most apparent are the ones who capture their pain in a peom.

I have a favor to ask of you. I am not sure I am going to do this, because it probably would prove to be a very expensive undertaking, and an administrative nightmare getting permission from all the authors - but I have been toying with the idea for several years and am closer to doing it now than I ever have been - and that is, putting out a book of peoms written exclusively by people who have lost their best friends.

My biggest obstacle would be that I would be knowing if the person giving me the poem was the author of copied it from somewhere else. If the former, then I would need to get permission, but because of the cost to me and the limited audience the book would draw, I could not compensate anyone for their poem other than to offer a copy of the book (or a few copies). Let me use you as a test - how would that sit with you concerning your peom? It truly is moving and would help others.

Thanks for sharing and for any response you send me. Please e-mail me at gkurz007@aol.com.
