You trusted the plant for its beautiful blooms,
But I'm the one who loved its thorns, who faced it's dooms.
You may have nurtured it, but I gave it my life's blood,
I loved it even when surrounded by a vibrant flora's world.
You may not have ignored it, that's true,
But can you protect it from winds wild and new?
You desired the blossoms, I embraced the fall,

Dear cherished companion, sweet and true,
Each day I give my thanks to you,
For all the special ways you share,
Your loving presence everywhere.
Such artistry in every shed,
From kitchen floor to cozy bed.
Your fur adorns my morning feast,
Like snowflakes falling, never ceased.
......
My dearest dear Be’er
That is what I always called you.
Endearing, to say the least
Although you now cease to exist,
my memories of you will never cease
As in my heart, you live forever
But how I do miss you
More than you could ever know
All that I ever wanted was a better life
For us three
......
If the world decides to go pitch black
I’ll follow you into the dark
We’ll light a torch
Find our own path through the rubble
Through the dismay
The tears will seal the walls of our home
The foundation will come from us
We will be warriors

Es liegt wie eine stiller Glanz in deinem Blick,
ein Licht,das nicht gesucht wurde
und doch gefunden ist.
Es breitet sich aus,
sanft und ohne Eile,
als wolle es mich erinnern
an alles,was wahr bleibt.
Wenn ich dich ansehe,
wird die Welt leiser,

Hidden face
Have you ever seen that hidden face?
his nobility and pride In the features
Has his fragrant sense ever floated your heart?
A kind word, as if it were for the kindness of universe.
Have you seen him?
The one who defies obsessions,
Resilient in the gust of time.
