Cinnamin

Their eyes,
they watch with curiosity.
Their tails,
they sway with such intensity.
Are you happy?
Are you playing?

She used to paw my arm,
used to nudge me in the night.
She never caused us any harm,
so why is it so much a fright?
She has left her spirit,
for God to take.
No more sorrow, no more pain,
just running in the lake.

Somedays i feel her smile,
somedays i feel her warmth.
I feel like running miles,
to be with her once more.
That night we put her down,
she looked me in the eyes.
My heart it broke in two,
my body numb with butterflies.
I cried all night and day,
I felt like i betrayed.
She trusted us to keep her safe,
she trusted us to lead the way.

Photo's are one thing,
memories are too.
Although i have both,
I'd trade'em in for you.

I know that it is selfish,
but i wish you were still here.
Yes this world be hellish,
you are the light, the dark is what i fear.

Some may see you as a dog,
but you know that is'nt true.
You are part family, part us, part God,
You make us happy, not so blue.
I know you watch us from above,
protect us in good times, and bad.
Giving happiness and caring love,
I should be happy, not so sad.
