Thank you, Dakota Dawg, for writing and sharing this poem with me. It brought tears to my eyes. I hope you don’t mind that I am sharing it with the world. It is spot on and describes Xan very well. – Lisa
Love to Xanadu
Precious Xan,
so soft, so sweet,
you moved into my heart,
and life was complete.
I gave you a home,
and it made me so glad.
In return you became
the best friend I ever had.
Time went by and I grew older.
You grew older, too.
One day you got sick, so very sick,
and I didn’t know what to do.
The dreaded day came and
I set you free.
This was all about you,
not about me.
Our house has children,
two rambunctious boys.
But it is still too quiet
without your delightful noise.
Brave Xanadu,
you are missed so very much.
One day I will cross the bridge
and you will run to my touch.
A fitting tribute to our brave Xanadu! We are definitely feeling your loss.
Rio and Rio’s mom
I know how much you loved Xanadu and felt there should be some tribute to that. I’m gratified that you liked it.
Pawsom… Nice Dakota Dawg.
Bravo Dakota Dawg, you really know how to find the right words to describe such an awesome mate.
A beautiful tribute.
made me cry….absolutely perfect!
Healing heart wishes!
Thanks for sharing!
