‘Til We Meet Again

Please don't cry because I left you. I simply had a job to do.
I had to cross over to heaven, to get things ready for you.
If anyone in the world knows you, it would certainly be me.
Look at all those hours I spent laying at your feet.

God only puts us together for a little while and, of me, you were always so proud.
Down there is where I stole your heart away. Up here we will dance on the clouds.
I am already staying at your mansion; there are other animals here too.
All of us have one thing in common; we had the best owner ever ... YOU!

I am not sure when we will meet again; each day down there is a gift.
I am waiting with anticipation, to give you your first heavenly puppy kiss!
There is one sure way to mend your heartache and to keep you from being so sad,
Go find another pup eventually, give them the same special life I had!

Thank you for making my life with you special every single day.
Like always, I will meet you at the front door when God brings you up this way!!!

(Jerry Wayne Baldwin; from “This K-9 of Mine”)
