Good Night, Loyal Friend

You rest now, old friend,
We have had to let you go;
But we will forever remember
The loyalty you always showed.

You exuberantly filled our home
Like an overflowing cup
With so much playful fun and joy
From the time you were just a pup.

You were faithful companion,
Watchdog, foot warmer, brat.
What we would gladly give now
To still have any of that.

Never a day went by
When you were strong and well
That we didn't look on you with love
And feel our hearts swell...

With such deep sorrow,
We watched you grow old
We watched your body
become weak where
it had once been bold.

So, you rest now, old friend,
We have had to let you go.
We will forever cherish your memory
And we will always miss you so.
