Grateful

 
Grateful
By the sparkle of your bulging eyes
your flirtatious tail invited to come out,
and your little tongue...
forcing me to eat.
You gave my life a boost
keeper of secrets
unconditional friend
for your affection I live in gratitude.
Companion of my misfortunes
friend of my paths,
my home for your company
never knew emptiness.
I have cried as never before for your absence
you have taken away...
Oh, God my soul!
These little brothers and sisters
Why are they not eternal?
For so much love received,
For your nobility and joys.
For having enjoyed you
long winters more
than springs in my life...
I will live for you... Chiquilina,
eternally grateful.
