Requiem For Taz

Six months ago, you followed me home, A tiny, black, and blue-eyed gnome It was late in September, I so clearly remember You moved right on in, Made friends with your furry kin – Always alert, in some kind of hurry Just the sight of you would erase any worry That shadowed my mind – Your bright spirit would blind Me to everything but joy, My delightful dear boy! Those short six months you shared With me and cared for me I am so deeply grateful for And now you’ve passed through Heaven’s door I thank you so much and cherish Our time – your gift of joy can never perish I’m so grateful you chose to be My friend – you’re forever close to me I sadly, deeply mourn your passing, Yet know your life’s a blessing And I’ll never, ever regret, Nor can I ever forget The shining joy you always brought You’ll live forever in my thought, So I say, Taz, let’s celebrate Our love, it’ll never abate We’ll meet again, This isn’t the end – Save a spot in Heaven I know we’ll meet again Yes, save a spot for me, my friend, My grief will be soon unleavened So save a spot for me, my friend, We’ll meet again in Heaven
