This poem was written by Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), who truly lived the joy, companionship, and sorrow he condensed into:
The Power of the Dog
|
THERE is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day; And when we are certain of sorrow in store, Why do we always arrange for more? Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Buy a pup and your money will buy
When the fourteen years which Nature permits
When the body that lived at your single will,
We've sorrow enough in the natural way,
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,

@MalteseMomma , you're not alone.
I first read Kipling's work when I was a teen, and this poem in particular many times since.
I cry again every time I read it.

So beautiful.
My heart has been torn so many times, its a wonder it still beats.
And I know it will be torn yet again.

Rudyard Kipling is a masterful writer and one of the all-time greatest.
Our animals companions are in our hearts forever.
