Apple of my eye,

With a face so sweet,

A love so deep,

A family now complete.

A coat that glows like the summer sun,

Golden and bright,

As you run and run.

Zooming through the fields,

Never once outrun.

Bounding with joy until the day is done.

Your paw—

A print forever on my heart,

A loyal friend, right from the start.

I dread the day we’ll have to part,

But forever you’ll stay,

With every beat of my heart.
