Junior, you were always the sweet one,
So gentle and so kind.
You stopped to smell the flowers
And you wouldn’t hurt a fly.
You gave so much love to us.
Always so devoted and true.
No matter what happened,
Your happiness always shined through.
The years flew by, and sadly,
Our family got smaller one by one.
First Big Mack, he had to go.
His healthy was failing, he could no longer run.
Next there was Coco, our sweet little girl.
She got so very ill.
Though the doctors tried hard,
Her sweet little heart went still.
Time can be cruel, sometimes our enemy.
There’s never enough of it
To enjoy the ones we love
As long as we see fit.
It was so hard to admit
That the time was indeed now.
To let our last two loved ones go,
But all pet owners take a vow
To do the right thing
Even when it hurts so much.
To spare our beloveds the pain,
The loneliness and such.
So we hugged your fuzzy bodies tight,
And your little heads we kissed.
We told you how we loved you
And that you would be always missed.
You are in a better place now.
It comforts us to know
We did the best thing for you
Though it tore our hearts to let you go.
In our hearts, in our minds,
Though your bodies are gone,
You are still a part of our lives,
Your spirit always lives on.
We'll love you forever,
| Junior |
