My Best Friend Died

He was the most important to me
But now he's gone
But now he's dead
I'll never see him again
I've known him since the age of three
We've been best friends ever since
I named him when we brought him home
Sam, I thought it had fit
He's been the perfect dog
He's been the perfect friend
He keeps my secrets locked in his heart
Only him and I will ever know
There's nothing I can do now
Nothing I can do to save him
He's been with me for ten years
Today my best friend died
There will be no other like him
It's just a repeat of last year
Griffin died too young
At the age of seven due to cancer
Another dog I've had since forever
Now both are gone
Now both are free
Today my best friend died
