For AbbyJo
A black button nose
A warm wet kiss
Just 2 of the things
That I'll really miss
Bright black little eyes
And soft downy ears
Are 2 of the things
I'll remember for years
Your personality and charm
And your devotion to me
Are just 2 more of the things
That are special I see
The way that you played
With both of "those cats"
And the look on your face
When I put on your hat
All of these things
I'll remember I know
But no more than the day
I had to let you go.
I cried and I cried
At the loss of my friend
But to have kept you on here
Would have been such a sin
The pain in your eyes
As you lay sick and sore
Said you needed to leave
And be here nevermore
While you have been here
I have loved you so
My heart wants you to stay
But my mind tells me no.
So with tears and my eyes
And deep pain in my heart
I let them put you to sleep
And I let you depart
You were my companion
And dearest of friends
And one day in heaven
I'll see you again.
