My Forever Pet

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.
