A golden heart stopped beating
Two twinkling eyes at rest
God broke my heart just to prove
He only takes the best
I miss your bark
I miss the sound of your feet shuffling across the tiles
I miss your mischievous ways
And how you never failed to entertain me
It's so hard doing anything without you
Wagging your tail behind me
And following me wherever I go
To some you are forgotten
To others a memory of the past
But for me
Who loved and lost you
The memory will always last
