As we lay you down to sleep
Treasured memories forever we shall keep
Of all the fun and hours of joy
You gave us George our darling boy.
Your cheeky grin and smiling face
Now lingers with such gentle grace
We think of when you came to stay
Shoes off, happy, ready to play.
Books we’d read time after time
That made your eyes so brightly shine
Of dogs and cats never quite enough
But always ending with Billy Goats Gruff.
Although our hearts ache every day
You will never be far away
Watching us all from where you are
Darling George our twinkly star.
