Forgive me if I seem
distant today
It’s a time to keep
my emotions at bay

It’s a special date
etched in my heart
It’s my pups birthday 
another milestone has passed

It’s an important date
only special to me
quiet thoughts and tears
Shed secretly 

only an animal lover
would understand
They know the pain
of grieving first hand

So.. Happy Birthday 🥳 
my heavenly ole puppy 🐶 
thinking of you quietly 
from your heartbroken mummy 💔
