Kael

I felt your soft fur brush against my leg

It was so real; the gentle touch of your hair

But, when I reached down to pet you

You simply were not there

I heard your soft snoring, deep in and out

As you lay, like always, next to my bed

But, when, with greater focus, I listened more  

With sadness, I had been misled

I saw your figure lying under the table

Where, each day, you would watch for the birds

But, when, with desire, I gazed there again

I was at a sudden loss for words

The house is empty without you, sweet Kael

Yet, your presence is so real and so true

Such a happy and loving and kind dog you were

I promise to always remember you
