Tribute

So strong of will you came to us,
So grand in strength and size.
So many years you lived with us,
We loved those big brown eyes.

A few of us did take the chance,
And got to know you well.
A cuddlebug was in that glance,
Don’t worry, we won’t tell.

You taught us much throughout the years,
We said goodbye today.
We wished you well but have no fears,
Within our hearts you’ll stay.

Sarah Smith
