People said it wouldn't last
That in no time at all
You'd wear out your welcome
Or you'd become my 'all';
The years flew by too swiftly
Suddenly you were gone
My heart felt so empty
But one must carry on.
You always loved me back
No matter what took place
And we became best friends
Talking face to face;
Never once let me down
Never turned your back
Loved me to hold you
Snugly in my lap.
Your face was so handsome
As you protected me
When the doctor had to
Replace one of my knees;
You never left my side
Did you, Camo dear?
And I could only scratch
You behind your ear.
Now you're gone forever
Somewhere up above
I won't get another dog
They won't have my love;
Days like this I want to
Walk you in the park
What I'd give just to hear
One final, lovely bark.
For us to meet again
You will recognize me
By my big, wide grin;
Until then, my baby
Sleep and rest awhile
And I will never forget
How you made me smile.
