Coconut

That Bundle of Joy we all grew to love
Was someone to hold and especially hug
His fur was soft and stuck to your clothes
But he loved to be pat and fling his little nose
For all he gave us we could never give back
His love, Affection, and his smile at that

He used to wink at me and paw me at night
To make sure there was room for my pillow and he didn’t have to fight
Though he new that trick really well
Sometimes he’d do it or pee just for the hell
He taught me so much, I still can’t believe
That one little dog made me believe
That no matter what happens in life you will see
There’s peace in everything with a little personality

Nights when I was scared and lonely at best
He’d comfort me with his affection that made me rest
In times of need he was always there
To get me through hardships I couldn’t bare
So attached to him did I get
That seeing him go is something I’ll never forget
Though through it all I can say this:

He was my buddy, my friend, and I’ll miss him forever and ever 
Cause he was simply the best!
