We still have the memories

A friend is always there.

Even if only for a short time,

They’ll be there forever.

In your heart, in your soul,

Forever living within you,

When they have left you on this plane.

Whether they be deserving or not,

They’ll be locked in memory.

Protected and shielded from evil words.

A heart is the safest place to live,

This is where let our friends stay,

When ever they need to be secure,

This is were they stay when they feel alone,

But no one is truly alone if they have a friend.

Anyone that loves them and holds them dear.

We’ll enfold them in our memories.

The luckiest person in the world will be treasured,

By the few or many they truly love and trust.

We should all be so lucky,

But we close our hearts to protect ourselves,

And leave our friends,

To bear the brunt of others attacks.

We should open to others,

Let them seek refuge within us.

Even if they leave us hurting,

We still have the memories.

This is dedicated to Chocki, Mel, Carlo, Ceri and Kato. They are my pets that have died over the years.

Chocki (Guinea pig) died today.

You may think it strange that I chose this poem to dedicate to them, but I love my pets they’re my friends when everyone else deserts me.

R&R, but please have some words for my pets….
