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.
