Our Furry Daughter Reva
Our four-legged furry daughter Reva bid us a farewell
She went on her new journey wagging her tail
God came to take her during her sleep
Took her to his magnificent land to run around and leap
She came to say goodbye to us before she left
Showing a sign of a joyful dog through another adoring pet
She brought us a tennis ball just like Reva always did
Assuring us to be happy for Reva while she is on her next trip
Although our eyes are misty and our hearts are tender,
Our minds are grateful to her for the blessed years
Her love was unconditional, her bliss was so pure,
The evergreen energy she radiated sparkled everywhere
Tirelessly she would run around, jump and swim,
Use her sporty physique to fetch balls and wooden sticks
Family games of hide-seek, cricket, basketball, and hiking
Enthusiastically she would participate in each with great liking
We needed help of words to communicate with her
She would simply respond through her doting eyes of brown color
We miss those eyes, the presence, the energy, the snugs
The house seems very quiet without her irresistible innocence
Each moment we thank him for bringing her in our lives
And taking her back without any bodily pain and anguish.
