Rip cookie

Little lion on the living room rug

Underbite grin white fluffy coat

Tilted head

So smug

You watched the door like it was your job

Then curled in my lap when the world felt rough

Cookie

I wish you were here

In the quiet

I can feel you near

I see you in the doorway

Waiting for me to come pick you up

I hear you in the silence

Louder than my thoughts

Cookie

You’re still here in my heart

Every empty room

I feel you clear

You were small

But you carried all my weight

Love like that doesn’t fade

You’d nudge my hand when I’d overthink

You took care of me when I was sad and lonely

Smart little shadow

Always one step ahead

Knew every secret I never said

Cookie

If only you were still here

I wish I didn't leave you

In the quiet

I can feel you near

I see you in the doorway

Waiting for me to let you out

I hear you in the silence

Louder than my thoughts

Cookie

You’re still here in my heart

Every empty room

I feel you clear

You were small

But you carried all my weight

your unconditional love that never faded

How can a heartbeat so tiny

Leave an echo this big

I still look at your picture as I reach for my dogs collar

On the hook by the fridge (oh)

He reminds me of you You taught me how to slow down

How to breathe

How to be

Now the love that lived inside you

Lives on inside me

others may think you were just a dog but you were family and my best friend I miss you like crazy I wish you were still here

Cookie I love you rest in peace my precious doggy angel

Love like that doesn’t fade

You will be in my heart forever thank you for every memory I got to have with you
