Your Little Brother

Your little dear brother, that loved you so much, just like you loved him too;

Now roams your old home in such loneliness, his heart is lately so blue!

From the day we got him not quite three months old, so you’d have a close little mate;

You nurtured him dearly and gave him your love, whatever his needs, you would sate!

For when you had just turned eighteen months old, we knew you would so happy be;

If we purchased for you a little brother, that you would then oversee!

So we traveled right back to where your doggie Mom lived, who’d had some seven small pups;

And while you gave her your kisses and love, we picked  a small male up!

He was feisty and wild and so full of life, attacking his six siblings all;

We decided that he was the pick of her litter, the one for whom you would fall!

The moment we introduced him to you, you took him right under your wings;

And for over twelve years you loved him so much, for such happiness was he able to bring!

Now for one year he’s been so alone, since the night that you had him to part;

We do all we can to his spirits keep raised, and help him with his broken heart!

So we make you this promise, we’ll not leave him alone, do everything we’re able to do;

To ease all his pain and nurture his heart, so broken since the night he lost you!
