A poem for Sonny. It hasn't quit ebeen six months but this is in my head and I must get it out or I won't sleep tonight.
Six months
Six months have passed since you have left
Six months since you and I last played tag and hide and seek
Six months since I felt your kiss on my nose
Six months since I held you in my arms and told you I loved you.
Six months since I last saw your face
Six months since I held you tight in embrace.
Six months since you were rippped away
Six months since you were murdered viciously by a vet who never could have lvoed you like I did.
Six months since it took them only ninety minutes for them to take you from me
Six months since I held your little body and wished you had come home that night so we could spend the rest of our lives together.
Six months since I felt you tell me not to cry. You;re still with me deep inside.
Six months since you gave us two little gifts who I know you chose just for us so we could heal from the pain
Six months of making sure that the vet who killed you regretted their every moment of time with you.
Six months of working to make sure no one forgets you or why or how you died.
Six months of me trying to forget how terribly you died and telling you how sorry I am.
Six months since I made the promise I'd work for you for the rest of my life to make sure what happened to you never happens to another animal.
Six months since i cam up with Sonny's Law. Which I hope will make vets think twice about neglecting their animals.
Six months of being grateful for the five years of devotion and love you gave me and the lessons you taught
And most importantly, Sonny, six months more of eternally loving you and cherishing every memory I have.
I love you little boy.
Always.
