IN MEMORY OF BOB

When first we met, you were a tired old man

In a cold bleak kennel you lay

The look on your face was so, so sad

I couldnt leave you that day

I took you home, you settled in

As if you had been there from the start

A very special dog indeed

With a special place in my heart

I knew our time would be too short

So I cherished every day

You stayed close by me all the time

You were never far away

The months went by too quickly

You started to grow frail

Sleeping more than waking

But still you wagged your tail

When we made that final journey

I held you close to me

I hid my face in your golden fur

So my tears you wouldnt see

I whispered be a brave boy

You silently slipped away

No more pain would hurt you

In peaceful rest you lay

By now you will have made it to the Bridge

Young again and free

Thank you Bob for the time we had

Thank you for loving me.

Bob---------------- A very special dog
