Rachel
You were my family, you were my home
You made me feel, much less alone
You were my sunshine on cloudy days
When others left, you always stayed
You were my companion on lonely nights
When life was dark you were my light
You were my comfort, you were my friend
I wished our time would never end
But now it has and you are gone
And I must learn to carry on
The world moves forward and will forget
But to me you’ll never be ‘just a pet’
