Jack

Jack was nimble

Jack was sweet

He sometimes followed

At our feet

He had a soul

Full of gold

His heart

It gently beat

His eyes

They knew

Whether me

Or you

Exactly how to make

One feel like

Things were ok

Exactly how to soothe

His life was far from easy

But retirement served him well

He had a loving family

Who gave him Heaven after Hell

We miss you very much, sweet Jack

Our memories are clear

Our lives are so much richer

Because of you, your love, your ears

This time

It feels surreal

Our hearts

Are broke yet full

Your presence

Is sorely missed here

Yet your spirit

Lingers on

Thank you for your leadership

Thank you for your care

Thank you for your cuddles

Thank you for your hair

We love you, Jack

Forever

No matter near or far

We’re grateful for your friendship

It’s shaped just who we are

We know you’re truly

At peace now

As much as it’s hard

To bear

It feels like you’re still

Here somehow

A gift from the great elsewhere

Thank you for your company

Thank you for your state

Of love and peace and happiness

That you shared despite your fate

I don’t know what to say to you

I know that you can hear

I’m glad God gave us time with you

I feel like you’re still near

I love you, sweetest Jackbean

Our family cheers you on

We’re grateful we shared

Some life with you

It’s ok that you’re gone
