In waltzing shadows, a friend we found, A shelter's grace, a heart unbound. With faithful eyes, he cast a gleam, Our joyous clown, a loving dream. Stubborn spirit and playful might, Howling tunes in moon's soft light. Protector bold with gentle paws, He loved us wholly, without a pause. In snuggled warmth and shared delight, He was our sun, our stars at night. Though silence now fills empty room, In hearts he stays, our cherished Goon. Forever missed, a bond profound, In memory's echo, his love resounds.
