Pierre by Mike / Your Daddy

Tiny ball of fur
just eight weeks old,
big brown eyes filled with Love,
came running in,
jumped up full of kisses,
and peed all over me.

Then suddenly,
it was easy to see,
that you had chosen me,
to take you home
that very day
to be part
of my family.

We’d just come to look.
That wasn’t my plan.
Not a boy!
No not a little man.
Yes, this is how it started,
how our life began.

But I knew right then,
right from the start,
I could not walk away.
I could make this work..
already you had my heart.

I couldn’t have known
all the blessings you’d bring,
nor the Love that you have shown.
Your kisses, those smiles,
warmth and tenderness,
would help me through many trials.

Your Love was so strong;
like a magnet.
And with just one kiss,
on their nose or their face,
you’d have their heart;
all were pulled to your embrace.

My adorable little boy,
always with a toy.
Needing to play with
a ball, Frisbee or ice cube.
Or just something to Love,
and take care of,
that ducky
a porky or two.

Eight years of devotion,
was my good fortune,
I’ve always had all the luck.
To have a good friend like you,
kind, loving, true.
We all miss you,
my friend
so much.

You are my sweet little lover boy,
yes, you have a piece of my heart.
And through my tears I see you,
with others who’ve pieces too.
Please show them your Love,
and kiss them for me,
‘cause I sure do miss them too.

So if it is true
that you are here,
stay close,
please guard my heart.
Be at my side forever;
our plan
right from the start.

 

Love you Little Guy,
Pierre
