Light of life

As the light of life grows dim,

And I slowly slip away.

I hear my loved ones crying,

Wishing for one more day.

 

With my last breath of life,

I look around and see,

My toys and bones and things,

That meant so much to me.

 

For just one fleeting moment,

I remember back in time.

When I was just a puppy,

And all the world was mine.

 

Although the light of life grows dim,

And I slowly slip away,

I am surrounded by the love I've known,

Each and every day.

 

We'll be together one day,

And now I know just why.

Although the light of life has dimmed,

Love can never die.
