Bracken

Oh Bracken

Oh how I miss you

And your velvet ears

And how you kept me company

From saving me from all those tears

For all those years

Oh Bracken

Oh how I miss you

Oh Bracken

Oh how it makes me so sad

Now that you are dead

Oh how I miss your head

On my lap

And how we used to nap

Together

At the bottom of the stairs

Because you couldn’t come upstairs

Oh Bracken

Oh how I miss you

Cheese on toast in the morning

You always had the crusts

I would save them for you

Summer days

Sunbathing

Your fur warm in the sun

The way the water drips after you use the water bowl

The way you always looked so happy

To see me

At the top of the stairway

The way we used to play

The way your fur was turning grey

Oh Bracken

Oh how I miss you

How I used to forget how old you were

Kisses every morning

Blankets in the evening

Tucking you in

Was my favourite thing

Oh Bracken

Oh how I miss you
