I am sharing this poem written and sent to me by my dear friend Doug Studebaker.
He sent this to me after the loss of my precious buddy Burt, and I welcomed my two new little friends.
Burt will be the first and remains in my heart forever.
Butch and Sundance are mischievous, fun, and loud little guys.
You may hear them in the background when you call me for your pre-approval.
Welcome Butch and Sundance
Butch and Sundance now grace the space,
Fill the hole in my heart but not replace.
Their songs and colors, their playful ways,
Bring healing light to my darkest days.
The love that ended now flows anew,
In caring for them, my heart stays true.
It isn’t forgetting, it’s carrying on,
Love does not die, but it does live on.
From sorrow’s ashes, new bonds take flight,
A choice of courage, a claim of right.
To honor the lost with love’s embrace,
Is to find in the future a tender place.
