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’
