The years have somehow slipped away,
So many years of joy and play.
How can I face that all the fun,
The years of life we've shared and done.
Are now for you and I no more.
For you've passed through that final door.
You've gone to where there's no return,
No matter how I wish and yearn.
So now the question must be solved,
Your final resting place resolved.
Where to bury such a pet,
And this the answer that I get.
In order that we never part,
I'll bury you within my heart.
