Goodbye For Now, Sweet Baby
My childhood companion has been laid to rest, To do her best to watch over me now, Like she couldn’t before. Forever more, I will adore, her gentle manner and delicate snore. All she ever asked for, Was to be let out the door, fed in the morn,’ And to have a close spot in bed when we were sick and sore. She slumbered softly while I played piano, never complaining when I hit a wrong note. She waited patiently while I was online, content to be sleeping at my feet. Why was it that I didn’t think you might not be there someday? And, oh, how you loved to play! Even when your back made you delay. But I cannot play with you today, for you have gone far away. I await the day with your patience, that you will meet me at the door, with a wag and a chipper grin. For then we’ll be together again, Never to endure a moment apart.

Baby Girl always loved to go camping with us.
She'd ride in the child seat of my mom's bike
or prance around the entire campground all cute. She knew
how to sit, lay, stay, rollover, and dance. She would let
us do anything, so she frequently ended up in doll
clothes when we were younger and we even got her
to pull a small wagon with a harness we bought
for her. She had a cute blue sweater to go
outside with on the days that it was really cold
and her hair was short. It was so cute on her.
When she'd sit in my lap she would be
as limp as a dishcloth, completely relaxed.
If she wasn't in your lap, she would be
sure to let you know.

Generosity of My Faithful Companion
Little ball of fur that sits humbly in my pocket, If I stop time from turning, can I keep you in my locket? You’ll never grow old and never feel pain, On a bed of satin you’ll be lain. Just remember not to take too much of my heart With you, when you go, Because I gave it all to you, Thinking you’d never grow old. I know now that all my heart you’ve left in tact, And instead you’ve given something back. My mind is now filled with all the happy times we’ve shared. Memories of my prized little Shih Tzu, human companion in dog form. Now I fear it’s you who’s lost: Given up your family, your precious pack. We’ll miss you Baby Girl, and always want you back.

You Can't Keep an Angel Forever
Long ago God granted me an angel. She was mine to cherish and adore. She always loved me, Unconditionally. She became my other half, loyally at My heel whenever I turned to look, And comfortably on my lap when I sat. Then finally God asked for her return. I paid the price and kept her twice. She couldn’t leave, she was made for me! Just when I thought I’d beaten out God’s request, I gave her back. Just like that, she jumped up on His lap. I knew she was weary and only You could give her rest, But I will always know in my heart That she was Your very best!

For Baby Girl
She runs with her tail wagging, curled up onto her back. She peeks back to see that I’m still following her, Through the meandering tunnels of my memory. When I catch up to her, she’s sitting patiently, In front of a screen. I wander closer to her and her eyes close with pleasure As I pat her head. I look to see what flashes on the screen and there Are all the fun times we’d had. She smiles eagerly waiting for the next scenes, Enjoying a life well-lived. I step back and leave her quietly to enjoy the pictures Of those she held so dear. Any time I want to I can step back into my mind And there in on the screen of my memory, I will find Baby Girl wagging and romping and running With glee.
