"Beautiful Girl"
Beautiful Girl
She was beautiful
gentle
yet spirited as all get out,
her kisses were unconditional
sweetness poured from the breath
of puppy love
soft licks and nibbled ears
for thirteen years,
She was beautiful.
Tiny ballerina from the beginning
Little Bit prancing
over the top of the world
taking her big brother by storm
showing him she was Queen
and that's the way it was going to be,
he didn't mind,
after-all,
She was beautiful.
Her brother was my best friend
but she ruled us both,
until a year ago June 21st
when cancer took him away,
and struck me down.
She sensed my loss,
I had a new shadow
and an undercover partner
who snuggled away her own independence
to take care of a man shattered,
She was that beautiful.
Last night was a struggle
for both of us,
her heart giving way
slowly,
mine breaking among the
whimpers and tears of a daddy's girl
trying to be brave in every
battle of breath,
she didn't want to leave me
she knew how much I needed her,
She was that beautiful.
We said goodbye today
little kisses and I love you's
I didn't want to let her go
but I had too,
no more suffering
She's just beautiful.
