Beloved dog in a locket that lays next to my heart
I will always love you as I did right from the start.
You were right beside me through the darkest of my days
It was your kind and gentle nature that made me want to stay.
Now I hold you in my arms, your breath still warm against my
hand Our hearts still beat together and I wonder if you
understand. Through the hours that I
held you before the light did leave your soul
I knew a way to keep you forever in my hold.
I snipped the hair from around your eyes so I would always see
The beauty that surrounds me, even in times of need.
I snipped the hair from around your ears so I would always hear
Music in the distance to quiet any fears. I snipped the hair
from across your back to bring me strength in time of need
And the power of your essence would always be with me.
I snipped the hair from around your heart, that beat
in time with mine So I would know
that love would find me at some distant time.
And so, your life slipped out of mine on a quiet Spring like day
But I knew that a part of you was always here to stay.
Beloved dog in a locket that lays next to my heart
I will always love you, even though we had to part.
