Jim's heartfelt ode to  

  ~ "Kona Bear" 

 

 

 

 

Into our lives, you brought so much joy

You greeted us with your favorite toy

We will miss you, our dog, and our boy 

Never to forget how you loved to play

into open hearts, you did come to stay 

Now we're in grief, this your last day 

Without you, here we will be lonesome

Sadness will replace you in our home

All said you were regal and handsome 

With your love, our hearts you etched

We played "gimmie that" and fetched

Balls and sticks you always clenched    

I teased you much, you always a sport

You growled, barked, you were sort

Of angry at me, your patience short

 Yes, we will always treasure all the fun

We all had playing; and watching you run   

Be brave on your next journey past the sun
