The sun is shining bright and clear
Come gather around, my dear
Let me tell you a story today
Of a journey that led the way

A rambunctious pup, full of energy
His instinct led him on a spree
Running wild, no care in the world
But little did he know, what unfurled

One day he felt a lump so strange
A malignant tumor, a scary change
But his loyalty never wavered
To his family, he always favored

They took him to the vet with haste
Evidence of a tumor they faced
The decision was made, they had to amputate
But he remained ecstatic, never in a state

Eventually, he learned to adjust
And never did he abandon his trust
His love for life never faded
Through all that he had to be aided

So let this be a lesson, my friends
To love and cherish until the end
And no matter what life throws our way
We'll face it with courage and play.
