Nicely done. Emotionally warm, gentle, tender, yet somehow sad. The two clues I saw were the photo attached to the poem and the phrase, "and it was empty," lead me to a couple of conclusions. First, the poem refers to a faithful fur baby pup, who has died. Secondly, it could refer to a child or children who have left home. Hence, the "empty nest."

The first possibility seems more likely, since a child is never mentioned. If that is the case, I am so sorry for I lost a dog, who was a longtime, faithful friend, last year in April.

I have no grammatical suggestions to make, since this poem is well-written, touching the heart. WRITE ON!
