I lost a treasured friend today
The little dog who used to lay
Her/his gentle head upon my knee
And share her/his silent thoughts with me …
She’ll/he’ll come no longer to my call
Retrieve no more her/his favorite ball
A voice far greater than my own
Has called her/him to His golden throne
Although my eyes are filled with tears,
I thank her/him for the happy years
She/he let her/his spend down here with me
And for her/his love and loyalty
When it is time for me to go
And join her/him there, this much I know …
I shall not fear the transient dark
For she/he will greet me with her/his bark.
