Beloved Pet
Everyone loves you,
But we knew there was no stopping this
You just had to go, and you knew.
We all miss the low deep growl of your voice, we knew,
That you’d always be there for us,
Everyone loves you.
With the soft blackness of your head on our laps, you,
Let us know that you were there for us,
You just had to go, and you knew.
With the warmth and wetness of your tongue, you
Licked the tears away when we cried.
Everyone loves you.
We say we will move away from the sadness of losing you,
But we never will.
You just had to go, and you knew.
But now, as we sit here, remembering you,
We feel the tears on our cheeks, but you aren’t here to lick them away.
Everyone loves you,
You just had to go, and you knew.
