We Only Have Them For a Little While
We humans are prone to chase rainbows, always wanting that pot of gold.
But the wisest of us remember the joy of just a small creature to hold.
Allow yourself to accept their great gift, and know what devotion is worth.
If you've been loved by a dog, you're the richest person on earth.
But their lives are lived in miniature- bright sun to palest moon.
They bless our days with innocence, and faithfulness that's stilled too soon.
These precious lives are fragile, as fleeting as a baby's smile.
So give them all the love you have. They're only ours for a little while.
And in the lonely moments when you pause to wonder why.
Hold close those brightest shooting stars that burn so briefly in our sky.
But then look deeper in your heart to know all love must intertwine.
And when the night sky seems the darkest, you'll see their light forever shine.

Rest in Peace our littlest BrightStar member........ you were loved by many in your short life.
A Special Thanks to Dr. Linda A. Schneider and the team at Macedon Veterinary Care who tried so hard to save Nero. Nero past peacefully while at Dr. Linda's home.....and after a brief life of being discarded, he was not alone in the end.
