Gizmo my little friend

on my doorstep awaited
this small black ball of fur
this just can't be

I have no time in my life
for you don't you see
but I let you in out of the rain
so small and innocent
just wanting to be warmed and loved

you will just mess things up
in my spotless house
but what else on earth can I do

I opened my heart to you
and you stole it away
being just as cute as you could ever be
the one I didn't want
to be in my house or heart
is the very one that would
mean everything to me

you were with me through so very much
through divorce and bankruptcy
and death and so much

Gizmo my little ball of fur
I loved you with everything
I have ever had you can be sure

rest well until I can see you again
my most loved and trusted friend
