THE NEW DAWN
In endless fields they leap they fly
Through sunny meadows; mountains high
No more an earthbound care have they
A new dawn breaks not end of day.
We knew them once these creatures fair
A memory now for those who shared
Their lives their hearts their love their home
So saddened now that we're alone.
But soon there comes to us a dream
A passing distant joyful scene
Where now our own pet's loving soul
Beside a friendless creature strolls
Their new companions tell of when
They walked the earth without a friend
But now in company with our own
They've found a new and better home
Before we know this dream is gone
We wake again but with this dawn
Our hearts are light for now at last
We know the reason why they passed
It was for love they'd left our side
To be with those who when they died
Had left this earth afraid alone.
Unquite souls who had no home
Far better then for us to know
To those in need our friends did go
For having shared our love with them
They've left to share it now again
In distant fields they leap they fly
And shower love on those who died
No more an earthbound care have they
A new dawn breaks not end of day.
