Cleo Boatwright

In Memory of Cleo
I had a dear sweet, sweet friend.

Whose body was small.

But, if measured in love,

She would be tall.

 

She’d hear about my day,

Never wanted anything back.

Except maybe for cuddles and a lettuce snack.

One day, she grew old,

She was weak, she was slow.

I never wanted her to leave,

My boyfriend and family said it’s just an animal, they didn’t get it.
To me she was so much more than they would ever know.

As I stood there teary eyed saying goodbye. In soft words I whispered don’t go. But, in my heart I knew I had to let her go.

And are first I was angry, Why couldn’t they understand?
Despite your size you where my babygirl. You where special to me.

But even though your gone. I know you never left because in my heart you left a piece inside.
Some people just don’t know the love, Shared between you and me. Because you took a piece of me with you.

I hope you are in heaven right now looking down on me and running running free with your little hops and a little squeaks. With lettuce in hand.

Even  though it for wasn’t so long I’m lucky to have shared love. A love I’ll never find again.
So as your heaven, I hope you’ll wait for me cause I know when my time comes I know I’ll see you again.

Rest In Peace Cleo
