Saying Goodbye

Today I had to say goodbye,

So painful was for me

You fought so hard to stay

Beyond reality

I said you were a fighter

I saw it in your eyes

From the moment you were born

A tiny thing so spry

You donned me as your servant

Cat’s so funny that they are

Dogs they have a master

Grateful breeds they are by far

But my little angel

You were given to me

You fought to never go

You knew I needed thee

So as I sit upon the deck

And look up on that hill

Where you have been laid to rest

My tears they freely spill

You were such a fighter

You shocked them all they said

They said it was the love

So strongly that we had

They’d never seen a creature

With such a will to live

Beyond all expectation

You proved to them you did

So now my little angel

Never a moment suffer for me

I had to let you go

So that you could run free

I told you that I love you

As the medicine they did give

Our eyes looked at each other

Noses touching as you did

The last words I did tell you

Forever I love you take it with
