Gracie
Oh sweet pet, I miss you so,
For you got old and had to go;
I think of all the happy days
You were part of me in so many ways.
We took so many joyful walks,
And had so many important talks;
You were always ready to greet the day,
Always ready to go out to play.
Your wisdom held so much discerning,
Always eager to keep on learning;
There was joy to feel your ruffled face,
To feel the kiss you knew where to place.
So memories I have must depend,
Upon the loss of my dear friend.
Although you’ve gone from my sight,
I pray you are safe out there in the night.
