I miss the way your head would rest,

on my lap at the end of the day.

I miss the friendly wagging tail,

I miss you in every way.

I miss the silent supportive stare,

and how my troubles upon you I lay,

I miss the nudge,I miss the grudge,

I miss you every day.

I miss the sudden playful barks,

and how those eyes twinkled gay,

I miss the naughty twitching nose,

I miss you in every way.

Others wouldn't understand,

'just a dog!'they'd say.

but you know it,I know it,

just how i miss you every day.

I miss the happy furry feet,

that ran to me from far away.

I miss that greedy drooling mouth

I miss you every day.

I miss the way your ears perked up,

for every word I had to say.

I miss the fun bathing sessions,

I miss you in every way.

I miss the joyful leap of glee,

so welcome after a tiresome day.

I miss the cuddles,scratches and bites,

I miss you every day.

You were my adored teddy bear,

in dark days,my sunny ray.

it hurts to know you'll never be back

and I'll miss you in every way.
