Benny

You took my heart & soul

For safekeeping within your eyes so deep

I promised to keep you safe

From this evil wicked world

Walks and chats and chasing cats

You listened to my thoughts

And in return all you asked

Was fussing and my time

Playing fetch and chasing cats

Then sitting by my side

Letting me know that pure love

Only dogs can provide

We grew old together

Both grey around the muzzle now

But in our hearts still young

Still chasing cats and having chats

Until that fateful day

Your time here was spent

I held you one last time

As you passed to that great park in the sky

Farewell my friend

My companion, my confidante

We will meet once more of that I’m sure

I miss you Benny

With all my aching empty heart
