Cherishing Our Memories

The day I walked in through the door
and laid my eyes on you,
on your shelf you held a pose
and looked right at me too.

I held my breath tight in my chest.
My heart then skipped a beat.
Look at his head! That fur! Those teeth!
And what enormous feet!

You climbed on your shelf and I scratched your neck
big hulk of a beautiful boy.
Offered your paw for me to hold
then left to play with a toy.

You took a pecan from my hand
then a grape or two.
I gazed into your eyes and said,
"Do you know that I love you?"

When your Dad made you a ladder,
you patted it with pride.
Always clearly showed your love
You would never run and hide.

You were fun to watch our gentle lamb
pitty pat, flirt and play and
you'd show your pink, winky parts
to your Mom most every day.

You took my breath first time we met.
Next you stole my heart.
Now you have my tears and sobs,
for this is the day we part.

Your life was a good one.
We all loved you so.
Our dear Aristotle,
to heaven you go.

On the wings of an angel
up to the cloud.
To the land of the spirits
where you will stay proud.
 

Aristotle,
We have been honored by your presence in our lives.
You will be dearly missed as we celebrate your life.

Presented to Randy and Karen Inman on the passing of their beloved raccoon Aristotle.
