MY LOYAL COMPANION

MY LOYAL COMPANION

SOFT FUR LIKE COTTON BALLS
SHINING EYES GLISTENING LIKE GLASS

FRIENDLY SMILE NEVER BEARING TEETH
GENTLE CREATURE WAS MY FRIEND

TIME HAS SLIPPED BY OUR GRASP
SO SWIFT LIKE A STORMY BREEZE

CARESSING OUR SKIN, PALE COLOR
THE FACE OF WHAT IS TO COME

PAWS OF SILK, SKIN SO TENDER
GENTLE CREATURE WAS MY FRIEND

IT WOULD SEEM TO LAST FOREVER
BUT THAT CANNOT BE

WE RENT OUR DREAMS
PAYMENT WILL COME DUE

WAGGING TAIL ALWAYS FOR ME
GENTLE CREATURE WAS MY FRIEND

SUDDEN TAKING OF TODAY’S DREAMS
LEAVING NO HOPE FOR TOMORROW

AN END MUST COME
FROM EVERY BEGINNING

I WILL MISS YOUR SOFT FUR, AND LIMITLESS LOVE
GENTLE CREATURE WAS MY FRIEND
