Creatures Of Love

Practically Human, But Better

Forever; Wynter And Mazy Mae

Please, love, take a moment

for the love you shared was great

The loss has been a torment

pain almost too much to take

Yes, PLEASE take time to grieve her passing

her absence will loom large

Her time went by in a flash

and she left a beautiful mark

Love like that comes so rarely

a love that honest and so pure

The pain comes so unfairly

for 11 years her heart was yours

So, don't let anyone shame you

or rush you along

For she was a blessing come true

real love in the form of a dog

Though she was much more than that

a creature too precious for words

If she could, she would shield and

take away all your hurt

For now she exists, deep inside you

you are eternally bound

An extension of you, love

once in a lifetime, profound
