Maybe I’ll See You Again

Even since I was young,

I looked out the window

While it was snowing.

I wondered if anything else

Could look so perfect,

Could look so pure.

And then I saw you.

So small,

So perfect,

With your big brown eyes

And your little button nose.

You were so small,

I felt like I could hide you

From the cold, harsh world.

And then you began to grow.

You got so big so fast,

I missed your younger days

When I could protect you

From everything around us.

But now, you saved me

From my self-loathing,

From my loneliness.

And then your life ended.

I'm grateful for all the days

I had to watch you grow.

I'm grateful for all the smiles

And all the kisses

You have given me.

I'm grateful that you were in my life

For these fifteen years,

I hope I'll see you in heaven,

My little puppy.
