My Max

Goodbye my darling, my precious, my all.

You helped me throughout my fall

In health and looked at me in awe

With those big eyes and that brown paw.

You were my angel and my rock

And no matter what you only took

Whatever I could give you at the time

But throughout you seemed to shine

Even when you had those terrible fits

And I looked at you shaking in bits

You took from my hand the sweet honey

That made you feel better my bunny

When you left my heart was empty

But you left me with more than plenty

Of memories of how we had fun

On that grass where you would run

After that round yellow ball

I hit since you were small.

It hurt me deeply when

I injected you with insulin

But we both knew it was going to help

So not once did you squirm or yelp.

You were so strong

But I knew it was wrong

To keep you on this earth

Fifteen years after birth.

You were sick and I wept

Seeing you on that table where you last slept.
