Sparky

As a little child,

You came our way.

So shy and quiet,

Like a gloomy day.

You took your time,

To settle in.

Each passing day,

Added cheer within.

As sunshine you exploded,

In our cloudy life.

Showed love was possible,

Without a strife.

You always have,

Never asking in return.

A bundle of joy,

Changing us turn by turn.

The world was your playground,

Every being your friend.

You ran across the green grass,

Never caring for a second.

You were the spark in our lives,

A brother, a son.

You brought happiness,

To everyone.

You loved like no other,

Were there through it all,

You cared like no other,

Always there when we fall.

You have us hope,

Of a better world.

Filled with barks and laughter,

A sight to behold.

Less was our time together,

For you had to go.

To a better place,

With no more sorrow.

Fond are your memories,

So glad you came.

For all your time here,

You lived up to your name.
