When I Think of You

There are times when I think of you,

at night when I'm all alone.

You were so loving and playful,

the day I brought you home.

You grew to be so special,

in unique and different ways.

I cherish the love you gave me,

I will never forget those days.

Our time together was short and sudden.

I looked forward to watching you grow.

You were becoming such a faithful friend,

and your loyalty to me showed.

There are times when I think of you,

during the day as I always will.

I start to wonder if I let you down,

but I know you loved me still.

That's why your memory is so painful,

your loss I can never replace.

Though many have touched my life,

no one will take your place.

I'm not able to show you now,

how much you still mean to me.

I will give my love to another,

and provide them a family.

There are times when I think of you,

while standing at your grave alone.

I remember the love you shared with me,

and I just want to bring you home.

Dedicated to my mini schnauzer
