Dear God - I'm Heartbroken

I remember when I got them
They were only five days old 
Their lips were big, and their eyes were small 
And their tails were Orangie/gold 
I used to feed them twice a day 
Once in the morning and once at night 
And when it was time for them to go to bed 
I would turn on their overhead light 
Every week I would clean their gravel 
And I would tidy up their tank 
I even once gave them a toy boat 
But unfortunately, the dang thing sank 
Yesterday morning I woke up 
And one of my goldfish was dying 
Now I know how it feels to be heartbroken 
Because all day long I've been crying 
I never knew that things could die before
And I never knew I would feel this bad 
Because now my fishy passed away 
And I am feeling really sad
Dear God, before I go to bed tonight 
I pray that my little fish will be alright
