Goodnight my sweet angel,
close your eyes and sleep.
It's time to say goodbye,
as my heart begins to weep.
We only had 8 years together,
you were my truest, most loyal friend.
Yours was a soul full of love,
unconditional until the end.
Why you got this cancer,
I guess I'll never know.
I'm going to miss you so much,
but I have to let you go.
I cannot let you suffer,
your pain has grown so great.
Instead I'll suffer for you,
until we meet at Heaven's Gate.
When you leave me today,
you'll take with you a part of my heart.
You see, this way,
we'll never be far apart.
Now a part of me is missing,
as you lie there so still.
I am left with a void,
A void I can never fill.
The only thing that contents me,
is knowing you've gone up to a beautiful ridge.
To a place where there is no suffering,
A place called Rainbow Bridge.
There you will be safe,
and free from any pain.
You'll run and play joyously,
until we meet again.
Your time on earth has ended,
your new life I hope you enjoy.
But always remember these four words:
"I Love you Boy".
