You knew how to coax out a smile,
I never had a better friend than you.
The times I'd ignore you, you'd shy away:
and yet, stuck by me, when I acted crazy.
When I got sick, you wouldn't leave me
until you were sure I was okay.
And you were happy sharing my happiness,
feeling you are family.
I let you into my heart where few have been,
and have never regretted that.
But the time has come for me to say goodbye:
you were an exceptional friend.
And I know, if there is such a thing as a doggy heaven:
you're undoubtedly already there.
