DUDLEY - a poem by Eleanor Lambert, Bermuda.

Our precious pet dog lived to a ripe old age
Because of the love and care his mistress gave.
He was a happy dog and just loved to bark
To welcome guests who came by daytime or dark.
He loved to have his picture taken and was always full of fun
He also loved to go for walks and to the lake for a good run.
He was very obedient, very well trained as any dog could be
These are reasons why we all loved him so our precious dog

Her Sweet Kisses Stained with Tears - a poem by Dayeton Larson

Her Sweet Kisses Stained
with Tears
D.Larson Aug.12th.2011
 
I wake up again, the night is far spent
She clutches to my body, in desperation – seemingly
Her kisses so emphatic, seeking reassurance
With intensity like none other
Her sweet kisses stained with tears
 
I tell her that I love her, once again from my heart
Then we hold each other so dearly and so very close
An eternal embrace that cannot be ever broke
With an intensity like none other
Her sweet kisses stained with tears
 
She sobs with such great passion, “I miss our kids and home”
With their voices calling out “Mom I’m home”
Yes - our children are all gone now, and we hold each other tenderly
With intensity like none other
Her sweet kisses stained with tears
 
I comfort her and reassure, our love just will not fail
We came this far, not looking back, We’ll go on forever more
Our children will fulfill their lives, and succeed where we have failed
But they’ll love us just as we loved them
With sweet kisses stained with tears.
 
A kiss - oh a kiss so pure, with a hug not ending,
True love that never ends, such a wondrous blessing
Such passion that never faded, such joy that still we share
 
With intensity like none other
Her sweet kisses stained with tears
With intensity like none other
Yes, I’ll kiss away her tears
