With wiggles and bounces
Prances and pounces
You tumbled and bounded
Romped and galloped
Into my life
Into my home
And into my heart
And what happened next?
With each day spent together
I discovered a love
Like no other
With my trusted friend
My trusted companion
My dog
Together we shared
Weekend naps
And daily snuggles
Fetching and catching
And endless hours freely running
Uninhibitedly leaping
Dashing and chasing
And joyfully darting
With you
The day comes
When Your muzzle is gray
And your twinkle
Is muted
My only regret
Is our time together
Is not near enough
