You gave us a real scare, Lu,
You go to the vet for a rabies shot,
collapse,
and your heart stops.
Frantic calls to experts at the vet school at Michigan State-
we learn you were just so scared, you whole system
shut down.
You made us encounter the unthinkable-
someday soon you will die.
I never lost anyone close to me.
I don't know how i will take it.
I know I will miss you terribly.
I know Ruby will prove some consolation, but
I will cry,
I will hurt...
I can think of no profound ending for this poem,
except to say I love you.
(When I say those words to you, you don't seem too moved.)
(How about a cookie instead?)
(Now we're talking!)
