When I got home you were there to greet me.
When I was sad you made me smile.
When I was lonely you kept me company.
When I needed protection you were my guardian.
When I was uneasy you brought me comfort.
When I needed to walk you were my escort.
When I was angry you gave me peace.
When I was bored you entertained me.
When there was a bug you were my exterminator.
When there was a spill you were my vacuum.
When I needed to vent you were my confidante.
When I needed nothing you were by my side.
Your love still dwells within me,
Of this you can be sure.
I gave you food and shelter,
you gave me so much more.
I’ll see you in Heaven when my time has come.
You’ll be there once again to lead me home.
