My daughter snuck you in
hidden in her bag
little did I know
that you would snick into our hearts.
I saw you grow along with Lily
my dearest black mutt Lily
so many days of fun
so many days of joy
only to be gone
so soon, so quick.
There are no goodbyes
and no so longs
to a special baby like you
I will see you then
I will see you soon
and until then, my Macky
my dear Macky
sit tight, “sit pretty”
For Daddy and Mommy and Jossie and Chris
are coming.
Once again we’ll play
again we’ll love
and along with Alex
we’ll be complete
the hole you left will be filled
and we’ll all be together again!
