What would I do without you, My precious, furry friend?...

Part mischief, but all blessing, And faithful to the end!

 

You look at me with eyes of love: You never hold a grudge…

You think I'm far too wonderful To criticize or judge.

 

It seems your greatest joy in life is being close to me....

I think God knew how comforting Your warm, soft fur would be.

 

I know you think you're human, But I'm glad it isn't true...

The world would be a nicer place If folks were more like you!

 

A few short years are all we have; One day we'll have to part...

But you, my pet, will always have A place within my heart.
