I am so heart broken to have lost my best friend,
Someone who stood beside me until the very end.
Never asking any questions or caring how I look,
Forever protecting me from any unwitting crook.

My furry friend with paws would always succeed,
Ready to nuzzle every time I was in pain or need.
Ebony you were here beside me every single day,
Through any illness and the times I needed to pray.

How fortunate I was to have such a devoted pet,
Although now in Heaven, a friend never to forget.
Those special moments we daily shared together,
Always a companion during any kind of weather.

So rest sweet Ebony, my dearest life long friend,
Too soon our lives together has come to an end.
Stay there in the peace of Rainbows Bridge now,
Goodnight Ebony .... until I too take my final bow.
