Leo, my Leo, my precious tiger-striped boy
Too little time did we get to enjoy

For you were taken from me this day
So sick were you that you could not stay

I told you it was time to go
That I loved you and would miss you so

I held you close as you took your last breath of air
My soul screamed into the blackness "How could this be fair"

For I rescued you just six months ago
A tiny baby just starting to grow

I loved you instantly, for who could not
So sweet you were, just a little tot

They said you suffered in pain no more
As you lay in my arms behind that closed door

And so the six months we've spent together, we two
Will have to do til my time is through

So farewell for now my baby boy
Romp and play in freedom and joy

For I'll see you again, I know
On the Rainbow Bridge when it's my time to go
