A Tear Jerker :0(

A friend of mine just recently lost her dog of 12 years and I was searching the internet for inspirational poems to send to her because she has really had a hard time dealing with the loss of her dog. I came across this poem that literally made me cry my eyes out.

~Thank You~

It's been a while now.
I guess the time has come for me to say goodbye.
Before I do, I wish to say a few words.

Thank you

For all that you have given me, every day, without question.
No one could ever understand, how special it was,
To have someone who would love me,
Even when the whole world was mad.

Thank you

For your unconditional acceptance
When no one was talking to me, you were there to understand
That sometimes my mouth didn't exactly portray,
What my heart what was trying to say

Thank you

For always greeting me when I came home from work.
Even when everyone else was sleeping.

Thank you

For always coming when I ask you to.
I guess you knew that sometimes, at that moment
I needed someone there, because I had a worried or troubled thought.

Thank you

For always guarding my life with yours.
Your bark was not so much a reflection of your ability,
but rather a symbol of what you were protecting.

Thank you

For giving me years of happiness.
your love and devotion was never taken for granted.

Thank you

For being strong and holding out...
To give me one more night, to know all the love that we shared.
When the Doctors told me there was nothing they could do to save you...
and that any attempt to do so, would be nothing but a feeble attempt...
to keep you in my life.
I thanked you by giving them permission
to take away one of the most precious things I have ever had in my life.

Thank you
For allowing me to say goodbye
