All Dogs Go to Heaven

Cupid, my beloved shih-poo boy

When I look down, it's you I miss,
I close my eyes and feel your kiss.
You long for me, your tears I see,
But many pups, they welcomed me.
Take comfort, know, I'm not alone,
They play with me and share their bones.
And times that I am missing home,
I speak of you and where we'd roam.
Look at the past and you will find,
Our happiest days within your mind.
Dwell not on sorrow and be not sad,
For wonderful memories, we've both had.
Your love, our cuddles, fun times too,
Let my best life, bring joy to you.
