You know how much I love you.
This is much too hard to do
But it seems God wants you back now
He has a job for you.
There are children up in heaven
Who left their dogs below.
Who will they have to share the spring
Crunch the leaves with prance in snow?
Heaven is to feel God’s love
Of which you’re the perfect proof,
With every wag of your beating tail
And every welcoming woof.
I don’t want you to go just yet
Though I know it’s not the end
God would never separate me
Forever from my best friend.
You’ll be young again and free now
As you’ve always been in my heart.
You have children waiting for you.
I should let you go and start.
Please just ignore my tears now.
I’m being selfish yes I know
Though I try not to be as you’re not
It’s so hard to let you go
So I’ll miss you and I’ll live
Until God calls me too.
Then I’ll come on up and I will be
In heaven there with you.
