To Coconut

Too soon I am without you
And the joy of your love
The silent padding to the door to greet me
The ecstatic race through my rooms
Every night a ritual
A nip to draw my attention to what was important
You.
The soft touch of chocolate paws
And the rusty squeak of your voice
Your blue eyes closed today forever
And my heart drowns in tears
But I know that somewhere you are romping
Down a new road
In the company of angels.
Godspeed, sweet friend.
My love follows you always
