You came to me, so small and bright,
A wagging tail, eyes full of light.
A single day in the span of my years,
But for you, a world appears.
I watched you grow, so quick, so true,
With boundless love, each day brand new.
Through morning walks and sunset play,
You filled my life in your own way.
To me, you're just a chapter told,
A part of life as I grow old.
But to you, I am the only tale,
Your whole world, your guiding sail.
Your muzzle grays, your steps slow down,
Yet still you greet me without a frown.
For every moment, short or long,
Is written in your heart so strong.
And when your time must drift away,
I’ll hold your love, I’ll always stay.
For though I walk with time to spare,
A piece of me goes with you there.
