Please remember our good times
Our fond romps in the park
Not the day I lay dying
And my world became dark

And at times when you’re grieving
In those moments of hurt
Do replace tears with memories
Of when I was alert

Please remember my soft eyes
And my sweet, loving lick
Not the hazy, lost moments
After I became sick

Though you no longer see me
Nor can you touch my soft hair
In a way that you know not
I will always be there

May your dream paint you rainbows
And bright bridges of gold
And show you, my dear master,
That I’m no longer old

Please do know I’ve not left you
We were paired from the start
I will be with you always
Cuddled deep in your heart

One fine day you will join me
We’ll run fast a green field
When you come to the gateway
And, like I, you are healed

‘Til that joyous reunion
When I lick your sweet face
Know I’m playing in rainbows
And I’m saving your place

So tonight as you lie back
Settled down in your bed
Know I’m not gone, dear master….
I’ve just gone on ahead.
