16 years

The yellow in her eyes has started to fade
The once thick grey coat has begun to thin
She walks a little stiffer theys days
She eats a lot less
and sleeps a lot more
She slips away from me a little more each day
I'd give everything I have just for 16 more years.

What a beautiful tribute. Your poem brought tears to my eyes.

I know how you feel. It's too much to think of, isn't it? I hope she has a few more good years.

How blest you are to have found each other and have so many good years together.

what a beautiful poem. Only the best come from the heart.
Are there any medications that she can take?
