Something's Missing...

There's something missing in my home,

I feel it day and night,

I know it will take time and strength,

Before things feel quite right.

But just for now, I need to mourn,

My heart - it needs to mend,

Though some may say "it's just a pet",

I know I've lost a friend.

You've brought such laughter to my home,

And richness to my days.

A constant friend through joy or loss

with gentle loving ways.

Companion, friend and confidante.

A friend I won't forget,

You'll live forever in my heart,

My sweet forever pet.

The above is not my own work, I found it on the net and have slightly changed it.

I publish it here in memory of my beloved dog, Tuscan, who passed away today at the age of 9 years.
