I wasn't a pup when I came to your home.
I'd been dumped on the road, left to roam,
Don't remember the people except the pain.
They left me to die in the cold and rain.
You were driving down the hwy,it was late at
night
When you saw the faintest glimmer of light.
You took a chance and turned around
Got out of the van and knelt to the ground.
My quivering body felt the gentlest of hands.
I knew I need not make any demands.
In your heart, and your home.there was always
room
For those who would face certain doom
You healed my body and you healed my heart.
You gave me what I needed,a fresh start.
When I cried at night,you were always there
With soft words,a kiss,a hug to share.
When I misbehaved and would cower with guilt.
You only showed love....up to the hilt.
You loved and cared for me in sickness and
health.
Our love for each other was more precious than
wealth.
Even when you were tired and had a bad day.
You'd always come home to me and say.
"I missed you my baby.I'm glad to be back".
Then you'd give me kiss,a hug and a pat.
We'd have a nice dinner then go out to play
There was so much love I wanted to say.
But my eyes, they faded and my heart grew weak
As my time grew closer you could not speak.
You held me tight,tears flowed from your eyes
We both had to say our good byes.
The release from pain we must end
No more time on this Earth would we spend
Running in the fields,playing ball
Sitting quietly together at the end of it all.
But our time together is not through
Because I'll be there waiting for you
At the edge of the Rainbow Bridge I'll stand
Until I once again see those gentle hands.
I'll ran to you with tail held high
WE will never again have to say good-bye.
My love to death,it does not end
Because you are,indeed, dogs best friend.
