How I loved you so
I was searching for a puppy to fill our home with love.
When I found you were but a week, but in my heart I knew,
We would love you and protect you for your whole life through.
We waited, and we watched you grow, until the day had come, to
bring you to our home, and welcome you with love.
It didn?t take you long to know who much you loved us too.
Your eyes were full of life, and anyone could see, what a special
little boy you were, and the man you were to be.
You filled our hearts with so much love, and our days
with so much laughter, until the tragic time had come, there
would be no ever after.
For three long days you fought so hard, just to stay alive.
? You were just a baby? I told myself this just couldn?t be.
This is really so unfair you see, your supposed to grow old with me.
The day had come, when in my heart I knew, you didn?t want
to live this way, and I knew what I must do.
I held you when you passed away, it was the hardest thing to do.
I heard about a Rainbow Bridge, and Lord I pray it?s true.
My heart is very heavy now, and the tears they still fall, but
I?ll never forget the time we had, and the love you showed us all.
Dedicated to my precious Bailey.
