Today loyal friend they put you to sleep So I sit all alone and silently weep No more could be done your life to extend You fought the brave fight right to the end. I recall how I rescued you from the pound Brought you home watched you run around Your crazy antics your funny ways Lifted my spirits on my darkest days. They tell me that I'll soon forget Go out they say and find a new pet At the moment I know you can't be replaced The emotions are raw in my heart you're encased. I buried your ashes under the tree Where you loved to dig and hide bones from me This pain I carry will someday end Till it happens I'll grieve for my little friend.
