Yesterday's Forever Dog: A Dog Bereavement Poem. Rainbow Bridge Poem

Yesterday's Forever Dog

Her hair was there

but she was gone

Her scent on air

but she was gone

Her empty bed

with hollow dent

Her paw print tread

with fun intent

Her favourite toy

beneath the chair

she’d hid with joy

Today’s, still there

Her lead of hope

Nowhere to go

It couldn’t cope

It doesn’t know
