Footsteps on the floor, a welcome sight,
Eyes that shine, through the fading light.
Every day they're here, it feels like home,
But time moves on, I see it in their bones.
Their time is short,
Each moment precious with my consort,
Their time is short,
But in their eyes, no blame, no hurt,
They give their love, pure and unsought,
Their time is short.
The years go by, the spark fades slow,
They struggle now, with every blow.
But still they stand, by my side,
In their loyalty, they take such pride.
Their time is short,
Each moment precious with my consort,
Their time is short,
But in their eyes, no blame, no hurt,
They give their love, pure and unsought,
Their time is short.
Every bark a story, every gaze a plea,
They teach me what it means to be.
In their silence, I hear it all,
The rise, the fall, the final call.
When they leave, they take a piece of me,
But leave behind their love, so free.
In my heart, they always stay,
A part of me, come what may.
Their time is short,
Each moment precious with my consort,
Their time is short,
But in their eyes, no blame, no hurt,
They give their love, pure and unsought,
Their time is short.
Their eyes still hold the spark of youth,
Though the years have told the truth.
In their gaze, a story told,
Of loyalty that never grows old.
When shadows fall, they seek my side,
In their presence, I find my guide.
Their gentle touch, their comforting sighs,
In their love, my soul complies.
Their time is short,
Each moment precious with my consort,
Their time is short,
But in their eyes, no blame, no hurt,
They give their love, pure and unsought,
Their time is short.
In their decline, I see their grace,
A silent strength I can't replace.
Each day a gift, though time is cruel,
In their eyes, I find my fuel.
Their time is short,
Each moment precious with my consort,
Their time is short,
But in their eyes, no blame, no hurt,
They give their love, pure and unsought,
Their time is short.
As they fade, they leave their mark,
In every paw print, a vital spark.
They've shaped my world, made me whole,
In their love, I find my soul.
Their time is short,
Each moment precious with my consort,
Their time is short,
But in their eyes, no blame, no hurt,
They give their love, pure and unsought,
Their time is short.
