   I miss your yellow red hair 

The smiles you made me feel

I miss the days we would play 

And the ways you would make me feel

I miss hearing your nails on the stairs

And even your panting smile

I miss everything about you that sometimes I can’t even smile

I wish i could hear your bark just one more time 

I’d do anything to see your pearly whites

I wish you could help me grow 

When most of the time im not right 

I miss your comfort and your playful eyes 

I miss it so much sometimes I just cry 

When I lost you the world started fading and my head went in a million places

I think about how much we had 

And all the memories that I kept 

I miss your playful walk and the evenings where we would talk

Your fur was always so soft and when I held you I felt loved

It’s been close to a year but my eyes won't stop to tear 

Sometimes i picture what it would be like if you were here 

And all the smiles i would feel

I realize your in a much better place but i can't help but want to have you back

You made me happy when i was sad I’ve had you all my life which im glad

You loved your food and your sister you valued family which is why I miss her

I wrote this for you so you know i will continue to miss you as I grow

You give me sadness now but i know there was plenty of joy when i had you back then

My family and friends say they understand but its hard to believe when i never see them cry back

Im sure they miss you as much as I do but its hard to imagine a life without you

You were here longer than me so you have one of the biggest influences on me

You made me the person I am today and when I think about you i can get a smile on my face

You were my best friend and now your gone but i'm so lucky that i had you for so long

You were so pretty and you made me laugh but sometimes i wish it could have last

I try not to get emotional but it can be hard when someone leaves the earth and can get lost

I hold your memory in my mind and try to always hold onto you tight

People have been with me and held me tight I thought my emotion would wear off over time

You made such an impact on my life

Maybe i wasn’t your favorite ill never know but you always would showed me the right way to go

I love you so much i think i might burst and you showed me love that i always absorbed 

I hope to see you one day when I grow old and ill thank you and hold you so close

This whole earth would be lucky enough to know you but i'm the luckiest because i got to hold you

I hope you feel better in heaven even though your away from me i know you visit me occasionally I will always feel your love and smell your scent whenever i start to plead you were a “person” i always wanted to be how you made me feel and how you saw the world

I will always love you my beautiful Lilly girl
