Blackie, Our Pet

You came to us uninvited &
lived with us for a short time.
During which you came closer to our hearts
In a manner sublime

You had neither high pedigree
Nor a big name to boast
But there was an unmatched quality
Of innocence we liked most

You were a friend so real
And you loved us so true
Than the so called ‘friends’
Who proved they were untrue

You left us unexpectedly
Making us blue for a while
Good bye our Dear Blackie
May you live long in the next life!
