Kurtis Roy Mckoy

We ran through the fields, your paws in the grass, A puppy so wild, full of mischief and sass. You ate those mushrooms, your eyes wide with glee, I laughed as you stumbled, so carefree, so free. The park was our kingdom, the sticks our great prize, You swam through the water, your joy lit the skies. Kurtis, my hero, my best little boy, You filled every moment with laughter and joy.

But time is a thief, it steals what we love, i see you startibg to struggle, but your my anchor my gkove

You stood by my side when the wolf came too near, Your courage unshaken, your heart without fear. Last year, your stomach was torn, yet you stood, One yelp, then silence—you’d do what you could. Cofy and Snootch, your old friends, are gone, But you’re still here with me, my light, my dawn. Kurtis, my protector, my brave little knight, How do I cherish each day, each night?

The hikes and the swims, the sticks in the stream, Now feel like a dream, yet you’re still on my team.

Fifteen years of love, of laughter, of play, But now I see shadows where sunlight once lay. Your steps have grown slower, your eyes slightly dim, Yet your love still shines, a light never grim. I’m not strong enough to face what’s ahead, But I’ll hold you close, my heart filled with dread. Kurtis, my best friend, my soul, my heart’s song, How do I hold on when the days feel so long?

The years may have passed, but your spirit stays near, In every tall grass field, in every stick I hold dear. Your paw prints are etched in the paths of my heart, A bond that no distance, no time, can ever part.

I see you now, my brave little boy, Your steps are slower, but your love brings me joy. I wish I could heal you, make the pain go away, But I’ll hold you close, cherish each day. Kurtis Roy Mckoy, my best little friend, I’ll be by your side, to the very end. Though your body grows weary, your heart’s still so true, And I’ll do all I can to stay here for you.
