Maui, my sweet boy, you were my guiding light,
My emotional support, making everything all right.
You were taken far too soon, just four or five or six,
Now I'm left with memories of all our playful tricks.
I want to say goodbye, but I don't want to let go,
You brought me so much happiness—I really loved you so.
I loved you then, I love you now, I’ll love you to the end,
Saying farewell to my sweet pup, my very truest friend.
Thinking of you up in heaven makes me sad you're far away,
It makes me feel so sick inside, more than words can say.
But knowing you have no more pain makes me shout "hooray,"
Rest easy now, my Maui dog, until we meet one day.
