Sad, sorry, sighing

Set my lonely soul to crying

Sauntered round the green today

She wasn’t there.

I sank the summer plants

In sandy soil

In shady soil

She didn’t stop or foil my plans

For growing

Knowing only that

She’ll always be remembered

In the silent eyes

And sympathies

Where memory lies

So soundless

And so still.

So beautiful and sad. She will forever be a precious part of your memories. She was lucky to have a home with you and you were blessed to have her loyalty and love in your lives.

Beautiful take on the prompt. The alliteration is not forced, the flow is smooth and the tone is appropriate. Nice job.

It's so hard when you expect to see her bound out and join you at any moment.

Your words convey your sorrow very well.

Thank you everyone, and Buzzy.

My husband's home. The house less quiet. But he's missing Maggie anew since she was still here when he left.
