Mackenzie Johnson | A Song For My Gizmo 🦋 @MackenzieJohnson | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 1 day ago
My family and I just lost the sweetest boy, our 14 year-old puppy Gizmo. It was hard searching for the right words, so I did my best to write them into a song. This is for you, my Giz and anyone who may be feeling what I'm feeling right now 🐾

LYRICS:
Verse 1
It’s been forever but not long ago
Four little legs and a Christmas bow
I’d never seen a sweeter sight before
Even though you came in and peed on the floor
Three little kids who were in love with you
Our big sister and our parents too
Held us together just like you were glue
So many things around for you to chew
You watched me go from girl to awkward teen
Sat right beside me when the kids were mean
Barked at other dogs up on the tv screen
So crazy but you were my sanity
Chorus
Good boy, good boy
Sit down, stay forever
Let’s play together
But you don’t feel good boy, good boy
Promise you’ll feel better up there in heaven
Still can’t believe that you could leave
Who’s gonna greet me at my door?
Holding your leash as you leap up
in the backseat of that Ford
Every single little thing about you, baby bear
I swear I’m gonna miss
My Giz
Verse 2
You’d always win when we would race back home
You were so strong for such a little one
But over time we’d find that you’d go slow
So we took our time with you but we did know
That you weren’t exactly how you’d always been
Your face was gray, the clock was ticking quick
A little body and too big a heart
How mom would cry watching you in the yard
And the medications had become a chore
Not fair for you to handle anymore
Just too good for this world to watch it turn
You left it soon cause you had less to learn
Chorus
Bridge
You held down the fort
Since 2004
Yeah, life is too short
But I can’t see you like this
You were my constant
My loyal sidekick
Saying goodbye, Gizmo
Is so painful, I can’t describe it
I walked our path the day we let you go
Pretended you were walking with me, Mo
I turned around and something caught my eye
Right on a tree, a big blue butterfly
Its wings looked just like your big wispy ears
The ones I’ve known for over 14 years
They call you papillon because of those
It’s French for butterfly so now I know
Each time I see one flutter by it’s you
Following me just like you always do
Good boy, my Giz
My baby bear, my bubba
My buddy
My brotha from anotha motha
Tough talkin’ “was” and not “is”
I miss my Giz
