NO LONGER (For Sheba) My sweet little friend, no longer will I see your sparkling eyes looking at me with so much love. No longer will I see that wagging tail every time I come into the room. No longer will you dance for me when you want a biscuit or a trip outside. No longer will you jump for joy when you see me pick up your leash. No longer will I know that special kind of love you had for me that only you and I shared. No longer will you bound across the bed snuggling and sighing at days end. No longer will you be rooting around the pillows to find that extra soft space that you had carved out for yourself. No longer will you retire before me so you could warm my sheets on cold nights. No longer will I remember you without tears falling down my cheeks because you were my special girl, my faithful companion, and my loving friend. Your Mama Linda Robertson March 7, 2003
