There's something missing in my home, I feel it day and night.
I know it will take time and strength before things feel quite right.
But just for now, I need to mourn, my heart it needs to mend.
Though some may say it's 'just a pet', I know I've lost a friend.
You've brought such laughter to my home and richness to my days.
A constant friend through joy or loss, with gently loving ways.
Companion, pal and confidante, a friend I won't forget.
You'll live for always in my heart, my sweet forever pet.
