The house is far too quiet for a heart to bear, Missing the click of your paws, the soft scent of your hair. Nine years you walked beside me, my shadow and my light, My first true friend in the morning, my peace in the middle of night.
You weren’t just a dog; you were the keeper of my days, Watching me grow through a thousand different ways. In the seasons of laughter, you were the joy in the air, In the seasons of struggle, I’d reach out and you were there.
Ariana, my buddy, my witness, my gold, A story of friendship that will never grow old. You stayed through the "hard," you stayed through the "good," Understanding my spirit as only a best friend could.
Today there’s a space where you used to lie, Under the vastness of the great, open sky. But the love that you gave me, so wild and so free, Is a part of my soul, and it always will be.
Thank you for choosing me, for all of the years, For licking the salt from the worst of my tears. Rest now, sweet girl, with the sun on your face, My first, and my finest, my Ariana my grace.
