For Tuppence

Born 31st July 2014 – Passed 16th July 2025

When shadows fell and nights grew long..
You came into my life.. a light, a song.
So soft, so sweet, with joy so true..
The world felt brighter just with you.

You made me laugh when I would cry..
A wagging tail, a knowing eye.
No judgment, just your steady grace..
Pure love reflected in your face.

You never asked, you simply gave..
A loyal heart, forever brave.
Through every storm, you stayed near..
A guardian soul I held so dear.

Each cuddle, each walk, those dress-up days..
Your silly charm, your loving ways.
A kiss on the cheek, a walk in the park..
You filled my world with your loving spark.

Tuppence, my angel, my truest friend..
How I wish this love could never end.
But though your paws no longer tread..
You live on in the tears I've shed.

You were perfect, joy without disguise..
A spark of heaven in your eyes.
And though you’ve crossed where I can’t see..
Your spirit still walks close to me.

My heart will echo your gentle bark..
Your memory glows through every dark.
You’ll never leave, not really gone..
In soul, in love, you still live on.

Rest now, my darling, soft and deep..
In peaceful dreams and endless sleep.
Forever loved, forever mine..
My Tuppence, sweet and one of a kind.

A moving and well-crafted poem—honest in its grief, rich in love, and a beautiful tribute to a beloved companion. It will resonate with anyone who’s known the quiet, unwavering loyalty of a pet.
