Lola

The ring my mom wore that day was a horseshoe

The object in which they say good luck is connected to

She wore it then because it was the day my dog got really sick 

Little did I know it’d be hours away from the bucket being kicked

And as I laid next to her, I thought for sure

She could be here tomorrow 

I thought just stay here a little longer, as my heart quickly broke

How sudden and how painful it is

To love something so deeply, and how much they will be missed

Lola, la la la la Lola

I will love you forever

And as my mom forgot her horseshoe ring,

You said goodbye to my brother 

As something took your last breath away

I knew you didn’t want to leave

It is forever a scar on my heart

I’m so grateful we had you from the start 

And that I got to know what a joy you were to everyone around you

Big floppy ears, a cute face, lots of barks to greet people

You will always mean everything to me though

In the making of who I am 

To be gentle and feel no judgement

You taught me how to be regal

I love you my little beagle
