There’s something missing in my home
I feel it day and night
I know it will take time and
strength
Before things feel quite
right
But just for now I need to
mourn
My heart – it needs to mend
Though some will say it’s
“just a pet”
I know I’ve lost a friend
You’ve brought such laughter
to my home
And richness to my days
A constant friend through
joy or loss
With gentle, loving ways
Companion, pal, and
confidante
A friend I won’t forget
You’ll live for always in my
heart
My sweet, forever pet….
