FOR GOD SO LOVED MY FAMILY
For God so loved the *(&^%$#'s
That He gave one of His best creations of all
To a family with so much love to give
Tanya would be her call
Now we see her empty bed
Where our precious girl once lay
But I know shes happy and in a better place
What I would give for just one more day
With eyes so deep and saddened so
Her ears flopping all around
She only wanted to please the Doerrs
All the days abound
All those spots on the floor where she used to lay
And where wed cuddle to say goodnight
To my Tani dog
Your scent and hair still there, glistening in the light
That look she gave, that tail she wagged
Each time wed walk in the door
By my feet she always followed
By my feet she is no more
Your empty bowls will always be filled
But still stand alone where you once ate
Where are you my Tani?
I know, youve walked through Heavens Golden Gate
By her Daddys side each and every day
Everywhere they went
To the park on Saturdays and Sundays
Park Buddies forever, was how their time was spent
My Lord how we thank you so
For the joyous times we shared
Shell be our precious girl forever and ever
One day well meet you UP there
Puppy joy and happiness always
In every single place
A smile from a dog you couldnt help but cherish
Would always grace her face
Ill miss the kisses in the morning
Each day that I would wake
But the Lord has taken away your pain
Never again will you ache
She is nothing but a precious work of our Lord
She WAS and IS time well spent
The Lord blessed the Doerrs that day
When it was Tanya that he sent
Ill miss the subtle nudges
That said I love you, (or feed me) cant you tell
And I thank the Lord for answering our prayers
And the healing when you werent well
The best years of Our lives
14 of them seemed to pass all too fast
Oh why my Lord
Why, no longer could they last
So keep a special place for my girl in Heaven
She deserves nothing but the best
A beach to run and a sea to swim
And a fluffy pillow for her to rest
Those years went by too quickly
And oh, how my Tani grew
More beautiful every single day
But more frail we always knew
Oh my Tani, the day will come
When were all a family again
In paradise up above
Where youre a puppy again.
