Goodbye Willow……
Engr. (Dr.) Victor Arinze Ezeoke 1970 (Ogbunike)
I recall the first day…..
It’s Just like yesterday
A beautiful creature, arrived my home
I let her freely roam
Yes, with love, in absolute freedom!
In our new home, stayed Willow, our new pet!
In her innocence, the floors remain wet
Messed up with water, and her piss
To her, she was living in peace.
The little snow-white Eskimo limiting my boredom!
I saw her grow into more than a pet
Yes, a full grown member of the set
The family setting that exhumes love
We lived so happily; my loneliness to solve
But Alas! Suddenly, Willow is resting in peace!
The world went cold………
My whole world seems on hold
My amiable fellow is gone!
Her spirit’s now in a perceived dungeon
This left me moping into space!
How’ll this pain go away?
Will things ever get back to the known way?
My thoughts are full while I brood
Deep and deeper I go down the despondent mode.
Resonating painful loss that hits me so deep!
How I wish I had the power
Yes, the one that sends reviving shower
To revive your sleeping body
Oh, I really miss my doting buddy
Guess I’ll remain human and let Willow sleep!
