Our Precious Angel

Happy Birthday Nico, today you have turned twenty-one;
Had you only been a cockatoo, your life would have just begun!
But eight years ago was the last time, we celebrated this special day;
Then just seven short months later, fate stole you clean away!
.
It’s the cursed curse of canines, to have short longevity;
Ludicrous compared to some turtles, two centuries old they be!
But the sands of time pass quickly, for our beloved little mates;
All too soon they leave us, a victim of their fates!
.
But we never will forget you, you will live eternally;
Within our hearts and sad souls, your love will always be!
So on this day we honor you, with a Happy Birthday Cheer;
We’d be having a big party, if only you were here!
.
.
Our Dearest Nico
Gone but never forgotten
We love you Angel!
