Pawprints Left By You
You no longer greet me,
as I walk through the door.
You're not there to make me smile,
to make me laugh anymore.
Life seems quiet without you.
You were far more than a pet.
You were a family member, a friend
a loving soul I'll never forget.
It will take time to heal,
for the silence to go away.
I still listen for you,
and miss you everyday.
You were such a great companion
Constant, Loyal and True.
My heart will always wear,
the pawprints left by you.
