Gone to soon....

(by: raul o. cardona, n.t.s)


He’s a cute little creature, though an “askal’ breed.
He’s a new addition of living entity into my “ahapi abode”…
He’s the youngest, the funniest, wackiest.
He has many names:
‘Kagaw” or germs, because sometimes he’s naughty
My friend Micky call him Nico
And the rest of his a hapi brothers call him “Tungcoy”, Butt I’d rather call him: Avatar, the grandiest of ‘em all.
Maybe because he’s loveable,
he is a baby and a darling in our little home.
He’s our debonair doggie-doggie…

Huh, a cougar night in our life suddenly happen!
Avatar left his body.
A passenger jeep rolled over our lovely creature’s body.
We are saddened and felt the pain deep in our soul.
Tears flowing from Avatar’s foster human father.
Deep within our hearts, we all mourn by his untimely passing.
He leave this planet while young.
We all missed his physical presence!

Now, his soul, I’m sure goes to the rainbow bridge,
A place just beside the heaven.
There, he’s made whole and strong again.
There, he’s happy but surely he is missing us too.

He’s gone too soon…
In my realization, he’s just a barrowed stuff toy.
The universe had been kind enough
To send Avatar into our life for us to show
the intricacies of our love.
His short stint with us was such a wonderful opportunity
That made us realize: that we all exit into this physical body!
Like Avatar, we leave this planet in a way we least expect.
There, in the spiritual world is an endless happiness.
