Buttons
Dear Mr. Levin,
My family and I had every intention of attending your book signing on Saturday.
However at the last minute we were unable to attend. I was extremely dissapointed because I had completed your book the day before and I wanted to tell you in person how much I enjoyed it and how many tissues I expended. I too have recently lost my best friend “Buttons”. Time has passed but it is still difficult to forget how much he is missed. We now have a new dog “Champ” who we rescued from a shelter. He is great company and each day is a new adventure.
Having read your book, I can feel your pain about having made that final decision.
I hope this poem will help ease the doubts you are experiencing. Hope I will meet you and have your book signed at another date.
Time will help heal and your faith will help.
Hope you enjoy the poem.
A Thank You From Heaven
Even though our time together was short
And a long battle was fought
I cannot tell you how grateful I am
For the time we shared
You always made me know how much you cared.
Your love was never ending
And I hope your heart is mending
Please do not be sad
Because I’m with you on good days and bad
I remember walks and private talks
How happy I was when you came home
And how you comforted me when I let out a moan
I want you to know I hear
you at that beautiful tree
you dedicated to me
It is truly a beautiful tribute
I also want you to know my
Life with the Levin’s were
the best days
Like the warmth of the sun’s rays
Please don’t forget me
But please try to see that because of you
I had a brother too
Each day was full of fun
Our time together on earth
May be done
But nothing meant more to me than to have been your son
Never forget my love for
You, my parents (Kendall and Mark) and my siblings
Lauren, Chase and Pepsi
I can only say that Grifin is
One lucky dog
It gives me comfort to know
You have someone to care for you
Till we meet again, and we will
God Bless You All !
