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
