The Corgi’s Lament

I woke up in my basket, the day after you’d gone.

I felt so sad and lonely, no lap to sit upon.

I had no-one to run to,

No treats to take with glee.

I had no plans for walkies, now you are not with me.

I know I’ll be looked after,

I know they will be kind.

But you were my true Mistress,

And I’ve been left behind.

I hope your journey’s peaceful and all I wish and pray,

Is I’ll be there beside you,

Once again one day.
