Riley

I thought about you earlier today but I didn't understand why.

I see your face when I look at her and everytime I cry.

 

I often find my self, calling her your name.

And I wish it were you every time we play a game.

 

You’ve helped my through some rough times, Lord, knows you were always there.

I used to think you look so smart, the way you’d sit and stare.

 

You’d always lend a thoughtful ear, a problem you’d never miss.

And I miss the way, on my cheek you’d lay a little doggy kiss.

 

I know you’re gone for good now, though it is hard for me to see.

That you won’t come when I call your name, it will always be just me.

 

I know you didn’t leave me empty handed, you left me a part of you.

And, I will always remember how much you loved me, and the thoughtful things you’d do.

 

It is hard for me  to realize no more cookies you will Mooch.

And, it is hard for me to say goodbye, so rest is peace, my pooch.
