Pieces of my heart
are buried in the backyard
where the flowers grow

Dedicated to all of the dogs I’ve loved and lost over the years…

Inspired by the prompt: Broken
Oh, how, I understand this, Amy Jo. For more than 20 years, I lived on 3 acres in the country and buried many pets around a holly tree on a small hill. It was heartbreaking to leave that place. I was leaving my husband and my home. My tears were for the pets on the hill.

A beautiful tribute to your four-legged children. It brought tears to my eyes! I keep those pieces of my heart in urns to keep them close. Unfortunately, there are way too many urns around the house. Nice poem.
