We loved to stroke your jet black fur
We loved to hear your contented purr
To tickle your belly or just sit with you
That’s all we ever needed to do
We see you still, just waiting there
To be fussed and teased, on your favourite stair
You came to our lives by accident
But – goodness! – how much to us that meant
We watered, fed and cared each day
But ten times over did you that repay
With your companionship and care
From dawn ‘til night you were always there
No more shall we brush you, nor clip your claws
Nor play with your ears, nor hold your paws
No more can we cradle and comfort you
Though we know we’ll still always want to
So stretch out and rest in everlasting sunshine
Until we see you again in the course of time
Farewell dear friend, evermore to rest
You were our Bobbie…..the very best!
