A peach coloured podgy ball full of delight
When we met one December night
Not a day went by without that smile on your face
Love without a bound, blithe and grace
You were my bonnie, my sunshine, my friend
To whom I came running when my mind needed a mend
Among the slobbery kisses that rained on my skin
I forgot this cruel world so callous and grim
In your eyes, I saw what true love is
Friendship and loyalty, purest forms of bliss
That never-ending frantic wagging of your tail
Spoke of your loving feelings without any fail
Time passed since that cold December night
Your once bright eyes, I saw fading of sight
When your peachy yellow face turned to white
All I wanted was to hug you and hold you very tight
I have no words to say how blessed I feel
To be by your side and let my sore heart heal
Time was the foe, for you, I fought night and day
One May morning you took all the sunshine away
