A Pets Death

The love that you showed him throughout his life
Cannot be measured or repeated
But you gave him much joy, it has to be said
Until his last breath was completed.

He cannot be replaced, nor should he be
He was precious beyond compare
You need some time to grieve for him
Which of course, is only fair.

When dogs live so long, they know your every move
They are loyal and trusting, it's true
And only YOU know what tomorrow will bring
Maybe even a CAT or two!

So you mustn't be sad, just remember his ways
And the fun that you had through the years
He'll stay in your memory and pop up in your thoughts
Making you smile through your tears.
