Chloe - A Puppy I Couldn't Save

by Marcie Tepper

 

Chloe was born last December to a mother so malnourished that her puppies were born prematurely.  Chloe lived for 5 weeks, maybe to teach me a lesson of love even though I knew she probably wouldn't make it.

Chloe

 

Chloe, Chloe,

So tiny, so frail

Please don’t fight any longer

It’s time your spirit sets sail.

 

I’ve held you and loved you

From the moment you came

Though I knew you were different

Gave you my favorite name

 

Though nature is not always fair

This is true

Please go to your grave

Knowing that I loved you

 

I’ve cursed God and People

And all things between

But your living a full life

Is not to be seen

 

I will hold you and love you

Til that last breath you take

Please know I am with you

On this journey you’ll make

 

If tears could have saved you

You would stay here with me

But God has decided

It’s just not meant to be

 

Please give me strength

For that moment to come

My spirit’s so broken

I almost feel numb

 

I’ll just hold you close

And whisper words in your ear

Tho’ you’re almost gone now

I know you can hear

 

Please wait for me sweetheart

In your home up above

To feel your wet kisses

That you know I will love

 

I’m so sorry this happened

I’ll never know why

Oh, my God, here it comes

I just felt that big sigh

 

As your life leaves your body

And your spirit can soar

Now I’m the one helpless

Crumpled up on this floor

 

I will always remember

Your sweet little face

All the lessons you taught me

With your beauty and grace
