Willow, you came into my life one day, you were happy & oh so smart!!

You were my constant companion, loyal & loving from the start.

You brought so much love & laughter, into my home,

With you sitting by my side I never felt alone.

Now you have left me,

It’s almost more than I can bear,

The house seems so empty,

Without you standing there.

You no longer greet me,

As I walk through the door.

You’re not there to make me laugh and smile anymore.

So for now, I need time to mourn, & my broken heart to mend.

Some I hear say, “it’s just a dog”,

I know I have lost my faithful friend.

You were the best companion,

So playful loving and true,

My heart will always wear the pawprints left behind by you.
