Goodbye to my Teddy bear
Only had four years together
Going to miss the soft feel of your fur
You look at me and yawn
You seem so unaware
Of the pain and uncertainly I’m going through
The hour is growing near.
My voices are screaming at me
What if your still happy
I don’t wanna do this
Just Wait another day
Let’s see how you are tomorrow
You still seem ok.
But the time has come
To do the right thing
It is with a heavy heart
And all my tears
I give you another cuddle
And watch you bound down the stairs.
Goodby to my best friend
Will miss you so much
Our car trips and walks together
The pinching of peoples food
You waiting at the gate for me
Always put me in a happier mood.
But most of all
Will miss the big grin on your face
Strangers with glum faces would pass
They always stopped to talk to you
Kids would want to pat and cuddle you
If you only knew
The effect that you had on people
The comments they would make
Even when you got sick
And took two years for your fur to grow back
You kept smiling throughout
And still stayed laid-back.
Your happy grin is back
Is it because I wonder
You know where your going
A place free of pain
Where your breathing with ease
And running round again.
Goodbye to my best friend,
