APRIL
You came into our lives suddenly and took our hearts which we gave to you willingly.
You became part of our family and provided a center of attention for all of us to share.
You occupied such little space but yet you filled our home.
You asked for nothing but yet gave us an amount of loyalty, joy, and love that was unending.
You showed your appreciation over and over when we came within view.
You provided us with pleasure when we played together and we nuzzled you.
Your eyes always shone with love even when we felt in despair.
You are gone now and you still have our hearts.
You showed us why a dog is God’s greatest creation with your unselfishness and innocence.
You will be missed daily but will always be in our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers.
You are April, a true friend and member of our family who added true meaning and love to our lives.
We are saddened and our hearts are broken by your departure, but I know we will see you again in God’s world at ‘Rainbow Bridge’.
Wait for me, I will be there.
