Nimue Day
2011
Today is Nimue Day... the anniversary of my canine daughter's departure last year.
Yesterday, I untied all the yellow ribbons that were tied on the fruit trees during her memorial in 2010 and this morning in a moment of sunshine & beauty on the land, I sat outside and retied all of them on a circular loop and placed it at her grave.
I still miss you, Nimue Girl !
Nimue's Song
written by Mama Hazel
March 2010
Part I: Mama calling
Nimue dog...
Golden white...
Chestnut brown eyes...
Snow nosed canine...
Gorgeous eyelashes
Bouncy one...
Joyful heart...
Cookie Monster...
Cuddle bunny girl...
Loving companion
Part II: Nimue's ballad
Duty calls...
On patrol...
Gopher watching...
Chasing rabbits...
Stealing Zippy's catch
Life is good...
I'm the boss...
Mama loves me...
Rubs my tummy...
I'm your dog for life
All is dark...
Suddenly...
Out of my body...
Try to get back in...
All systems shut off
'I Love You'...
I'm so sorry...
Please don't worry...
I am here with you...
until you're okay
Mommy...
Got to go...
Stepping through that door...
But... i'll be back for sure...
Always be your dog
Nimue's grave today
Nimue & her mama, 2005

ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe a year's passed already. Life on earth is fleeting, but spirits live forever and sweet memories remain in our hearts until we meet our loved ones again.
