Rocky

Rocky.

When we first had you
You were a mess,
Your coat didn't shine
You were in distress.

We took you in
And made you well,
We fed you up
You looked real swell.

The years passed by
You became our friend,
A friendship we never 
Wanted to end.

But sadly one day
You became unwell,
You could not stand up
In your eye's i could tell.

That you'd had enough
The time had now come,
I had to decide
What had to be done.

So Rocky i did
What i thought was best,
I took you to where
You could finaly rest.

I hope that you know
That we'll never forget,
That you were a truely
Wonderful pet.

So good night mate
Go to sleep free of pain
Til we meet somewhere else
And go walks once again.
