I went to the shelter to get a dog to choose from the entire lot.
I was very amazed right up to the end of the wonderful dog I got.

She was very small and quiet and afraid of many a thing,
but over the hours, the days and the years what great joy she did bring.

She loved to be petted, to be given hugs and belly rubs best of all.
She would look around and decide not to come at times when her name I did call.

The pain I am feeling is deep down to my core.
I want you back to hold you, to hug you and kiss you just like I did before.
I know this can't happen even though I want you back right here with me.
My heart is broken, my emotions all jumbled; oh how much I miss my Mopsie.
