In a quiet shelter, once unseen, Lived a soul named Goon, bittersweet and keen. Rescue came, through Jazmin and Ruben's door, And laughter followed, forevermore. A wagging tail, a heartfelt grace, With toys and snacks, he'd nuzzle in place. Dramatic howls to a melody’s sweep, His spirit, a song we’d forever keep. Though now he roams where rainbows arc, He’s left his paw prints upon our heart. Faithful friend, in memories bright, Goon, our star in the endless night. Beyond the bridge, yet close to home, In joy and sorrow’s soft-spun dome, Our precious boy, in peace he soars, Forever loved, now and evermore.
