Zachary Riendeau

You were a warm weight on quiet days
A soft breath beside the years as they passed
You watched my life change from the floor up
Nineteen winters you stayed
Brave in a body growing tired
Love never thinning even when your steps did
You taught me that loyalty can be small and still endless
That goodbye does not erase a lifetime of hello
Now the house holds your shape in memory
Sunlight still knows where you used to sleep
If love could have kept you, You would have lived forever

Rest gently my sweet Belle ❤️

Time reveals what love hid and what patience tolerated
