NOT GOOD-BYE
Tonight I held your little head
And watched you slip away
I cried for you to stay with me
For just another day.
You were gone so very quick
No chance to say good-bye
I held your tiny lifeless body
Why did you have to die?
I pray that you were not afraid
For I was there with you
I knew it was your time to go
There was nothing I could do.
I hope you didn’t suffer
And you didn’t understand
In only seconds you’d be gone
With your head held in my hands.
Now you’re gone forever
I miss my very best friend
But I know in my heart some day
We will meet again.
So it’s only good-bye for now, Dixie
Don’t ever forget that I love you
And your little pal Benny
Says he loves and misses you too.
You were a good girl, Dixie.
Mommy misses you so much.
