The day we got you I was so excited 

So little and cute, we were so delighted

You were a little sick but we got you better 

Your first birthday past and you were still a little under the weather 

Then your second birthday passed and you were doing exceptionally 

You loved us so much you even told us with your stuffed animal 

Your third birthday passed and there was a tumor on your knee

The vet said it was a skin tag but I did not flee

I knew something was wrong

You got worse and were not as strong

You were still the sweetest dog

And now your tumor was like a frog 

Jumping all over your body and spreading

You had surgery the day before thanksgiving and just stayed in your bedding  

The surgery did not help you

You were getting worse and the tumors only grew

March twenty-first I went to school 

I told you I would see you later while you were by the stool 

Normally I did not say that but it was reassuring to me

My sister picked me up which was unlikely 

I knew something was wrong as soon as I saw her

Marley was put down, this did not come as a shocker

I had to stay strong because I did not want my family to see me fall apart 

Goodbye my angel you will always be in my heart
