Sunday, Sunday

Photo is Nico and Cody on a Family Day Sunday at Home Depot
 
On a sunny Sunday in early May, the most glorious of all days;
The one we went to get Nico a brother, and precious Cody came our way!
We never shall forget that one, and the joy it brought our hearts;
When our Little Boys became instant Soulmates, and vowed they’d never part!
.
Then Sundays became our special one, a Family day to share;
Home Depot, Pet Smart, a nice café, every one, we would go there!
At Home Depot, people would pet their heads, they licked their fingers in return;
At Pet Smart, they’d meet doggie friends, and their names they’d quickly learn!
.
Yes, Sundays were so dear to us, but 2015 brought a sad dichotomy;
On 2-16, we lost our precious Nico, which made us only three!
We still went out, now just a trio, but they never were the same;
For without him we were not as happy, often crying out his name!
.
Then came Sunday, 7-31, around six months ago;
Our last Family day together, for on Saturday, our dear Cody too had to go!
Followed by, the darkest one, on Sunday, the very next of days;
Our first one alone in sixteen years, both our Soulmates gone away!

                            Oh Sunday, Sunday
               You once brought such happiness
                           But now only tears
