Brinnie Poem by Rosemary Monahan

Since the first time I saw you
I've grown to love you as mine
You were like a son to me
You were part of my family
Never a bother to care for
You learned to be well-mannered
I even taught you to kiss properly.

But now you are no longer with us
We never wated to leave you there
I hope you can forgive us
But, please never forget us
We will always remember you
We do love you and forever will...

(1984)
