It‚s hard to believe how fast passed the time
One moment I had you, a brief time you were mine.
Then you were gone, like a lingering kiss
And for the rest of my life, I knew you‚d be missed.
 
How precious you were, such a tiny little thing.
So fragile and delicate, yet what joy you would bring
To the space in my heart that before you was blue,
That would only be filled by the likeness of you.
 
Your courage was that of a hound twice your size
Still the pain of your past, lay deep in your eyes.
Abandoned, betrayed in your now „golden years‰
The thought of this now still brings me to tears.
 
You‚d not die alone; you would have a new start.
When you entered my home, you went straight for my heartYou would run through the house kind of sideways and thenYou would turn, give a bark, and then you‚d run back again.
 
For the rest of your days, all my love I would give
To a tiny little Ella, you so wanted to live.
Your sprit and spunk, your undying desire
Burned deep in your soul like the flame of a fire.
