Cheeky and LB were once in my life.
It completed the family for me and my wife.
We laughed, we frolicked, we loved and played.
It's memories like that, where happiness is made.

Then one day, on a cold December night
we returned home to a pitiful sight.
LB had drowned in a sump pump pool.
For weeks thereafter my blood ran cool.
To see my dear LB so alone and cold
made my emotions so difficult to hold.

It seems too short a life to live
for my cute friend with nothing but love to give.
Yesterday my Cheeky died peacefully in his sleep.
For him and his buddy LB, I now do weep.
While LB will always have a place in my heart,
memories of Cheeky now also take a part.

I now bid adieu to my little four legged friend.
The saints in Heaven over you will tend.
The memories I have will never be lost.
The Rainbow Bridge, you now have crossed.
