A total stranger came to you,
with no history of knowing you.
As he looked over and gazed at you,
he showed great compassion and despair for you.
He picked you up with loving care,
and held you up with such warmth to share.
He walked away with your body in one arm,
stroking your head with care and such charm.
Walking away with you and so many years,
Leaving our household full of sorrows and tears.
You brought happiness to my daughter’s heart,
and sorrow when you had to part.
I know you would have licked her face while she cried,
thank you for always being there by her side.
We will always remember you,
with all the love you always knew.

Rest In Peace Emmie.
