My loving tri colored beagle
Of the last seventeen years
My rambunctious little darling
Who has lapped up all my tears

You've been a great companion
An enormous part of my life
You've seen me through triumphs
You've been there through strife

My mischievous sweetheart
Who un"squeaked" every toy
My little treat monger
That's brought me such joy

Your brown fur now gray
Your pace now so slow
A gift so precious
A love you bestow

You have touched my heart
Like it's been your mission
Faithful love
Without condition

I fear the day you'll not be here
I'll certainly fall apart
But I promise to always hold you
Deep inside my heart
