DON'T DRIVE AWAY
A Poem written by my daughter aged 13. After the tragic death of our dog.
When I looked in your eyes, what did I see ?
Loving and loyalty looking back at me
You were my companion, my true found friend
I loved and adored you right to the end
The tears in my eyes, that terrible day
That car just took your life away
Driving off without a second glance
You maybe alive, if given a chance
Through my eyes I cried like the rain
I prayed it was quick, without any pain
I remembered the good days we shared and we had
Though deep in my heart I do remain sad
I love and I miss you so very much
I close my eyes, and your face I can touch
I hope they have guilt for driving away
As my heart was broken in two that day
Who can I turn to, my family's in grief
I lay on my bed, praying my heart get relief
The picture of you lying there, cold, alone and in despair
Will haunt in my mind forever more
I hate to think of your body all sore
Accidents happen, what can I say
BUT FOR THE SAKE OF OUR FAMILY'S
DON'T DRIVE AWAY
