Tribute to Barney and Andy

A little bundle of joy

Brought home so long ago

We fell for him right from the start

The love was real, we know

At first it seemed he was ours to keep

So safe and sound…but, no

For looking back we realize

He came to help us grow

To teach of love unconditional

And friendship with no end

To make you feel a special way

He had broken hearts to mend

Always making welcome

Whoever would drop by

And help you through the sad times

With comfort when you cried

It’s true that living in our hearts

Even when they’re gone

Will keep alive the memories

That helps us to go on

But still we shed so many tears

The pain is real and deep

We think of all that we have lost

And dream of him in sleep

But now he runs and plays all day

Corki and Christi at his heel

The aches and pains will be no more

Only good things will he feel

And now he watches over us

To see that we’re okay

And we will keep on missing him

Until we meet again one day

We miss you,
