Best Friend
From the the first time we saw your tiny body
You put such a huge smile on our face.
Your crazy squirrely eyes and zest for life
just took us to a brand new place.
You didn't just eat your food
You had your own little party in it.
You were so crazy to watch
there was no stopping you, there was just no quit.
As you grew older
you became such a protector, and such a friend.
You always took the time to listen to us, no matter how broken the problem, you would start the mend.
I remember a time
when i was away
You sat outside, by the door of my shed
until i returned, that's where you would stay.
You were always there to greet us
with a cuddly nuzzle and a wag of your tail.
You would never judge us, and always love us
You gave us all your love, without fail.
As time moved on and you grew older
It was so hard to see
our best friend and confidant
may soon no longer be.
As I write this, the tears they flow
and my heart surely breaks
The best friend a person could ask for
Time will take.
I will miss you always
but sometime I may no longer cry
but i will never forget your life
and the memory of that day, that we said Goodbye.
Love and thank you always Griffin, your best friend, billy
