Rainbow Tears
January 5, 2012 by admin | Filed under Animals/Pets, Grief.
Blazing orange, vibrant red,
Golden yellow,
Wyatt is dead!
Gentle gray, charcoal brown,
His blackened ashes
Mark the ground!
Frothy white and midnight blue.
King Neptune,
I give my dog to you!
Peaceful green,
A mournful sigh,
Rainbow colors drop from my eye!

We spread Wyatt’s ashes at his favorite spot at Dog Beach, San Diego, California. A spot that will always bring sunshine to my heart. After spreading them, I threw out his favorite orange retriever toy into the channel to be carried out to sea or perhaps another dog would find it and cherish it.
