In loving memory of Ella

Letting you go today was the hardest thing to do
But deep in my heart it was best for you
You gave years of devotion only to me
But in my moment of saddness I set your soul free
The tears I cried in your final end
They came from the heart of losing my best friend
I know in time the pain will slowly fade away
But the memories of you will always stay
Even now as your body has passed
And that mound of dirt has grown new grass
Your spirit is within me every single day
And my best friend you will always stay
