I miss you so much; my four-legged friend

I ask myself each day; if the pain will ever end

Your loss is so hard; for one person to bear

because we were a team; an inseparable pair

You were by my side; when I got up each day

waiting so patiently; to go out and play

You were there each night; when I got home

waiting to go to the park; where you could roam

You always knew; if I was having a bad day

so you'd snuggle up close; and try to get me to play

If that didn't work; you'd put your head in my lap

then make yourself comfortable; and take a nap

One way or another you; would brighten my day

like only you could; you had a special way

You gave me a lifetime; of memories to hold

through all the years ahead; till I'm gray and old

I promise I'll see you; again one day

when we'll be together again; to go run and play

Your loss is a cross; I will just have to bear

because you and I know; we're an inseparable pair
