An ode to the puppy who came into my life unexpectedly and left my life way too soon. I miss you, Willow. I'm sorry I couldn't do much to relieve you from your pain, but I loved you. And if you could feel that love as you lay there fighting, I can let you go in peace. I hope you have fun in Dog heaven, I've heard it's full of treats and toys. Sleep tight, little boy ❤

Body envisaging the constellation of bones within,
Breaths consuming a little life away,
Eyes wanting to open, but too scared to see the reaper looming greedily.
This is how you came into my life.
Clueless, scared, and maternal, I welcomed you with open arms.
For hours we fought together, you were valiant and strong inspite of the frail body you possessed.
I saw the reaper retreating and almost becoming indiscernible.
I held your tiny paw, dreaming of the life we are going to paint together.
That's when you loosened your grip on hope. You moaned in pain as I scarpered around trying to find any means of relieving you from the malicious grip of morbidity.
You tried and you tried, but all in vain.
And it dawned upon me that I have to let go, I knew the time had come.
We said a silent goodbye as you opened your tiny eyes just enough for me to look into them and tell you I love you.
And then you put back your head and surrendered to destiny.
Holding your limp body, with emotions flowing out of my eyes, I walked towards your final resting place.
Life was unfair to you, but life was generous to me, for I had met you.
You taught me love.
You taught me compassion.
You taught me how to show courage in the face of adversity.
You also taught me it is okay to let go.
It was heartbreaking to watch you leave, but it was serendipity that you came into my life, even if it was for a few hours.
I wrapped up all my love in those hours and I sent you away to sleep a sound sleep.
I will meet you at the other end, and we will continue our story which was wrenched away by the claws of death.
Until then, Zendagi Migzara.
