There’s something missing in my home,
I feel it day and night.
I know it will take time and strength
before things feel quite right.
But just for now we need to mourn
My heart--- it needs to mend.
Though some may say “Its just a pet”
I know I’ve lost a friend.
You’ve bought such laughter to our home,
and richness to our days…
A constant friend through joy or loss,
with gentle, loving ways.
Companion, pal and confidante
A friend I won’t forget,
You’ll live forever in our hearts
My sweet forever pet.
