She was daddy’s mommy,

They did not get along,

I knew not long had she to live,

So to her when I visited, my paw and love I did give…

Normally if daddy does not like someone,

I would be able to tell and growl and even bark,

But his mommy was not long for this earth,

I tried to treat her well and show her some mirth…

She and daddy did argue,

Seems right up to the bitter end,

I did not in daddy’s way get,

To my daddy I did not want to offend…

His mommy did eventually die,

He said in his own way good bye,

I wish I could have spared him the pain,

I love my daddy, I would not have complained…
