A WONDERFUL LIFE

REMEMBER THAT PRESENCE
ALL BARK AND NO BITE
AS SHE’S APPROACHING
HER BLACK AND HER WHITE.
SHE ALWAYS PROTECTED THE ONES THAT SHE LOVED.
BORN INTO THIS WORLD
AND SENT FROM ABOVE.

WHEN IT WAS SUMMER
SO BUFF AND SO TRIM
NEVER MINDED THE HEAT
JUMP IN FOR A SWIM.
RAN WITH THE RABBITS AND BIRDS BY THE POOL.
WAS REALLY A PERSON
NOT COVERED IN DROOL.

WHAT DOG DO YOU KNOW
REGARDLESS OF SHED
ALL NESTLED AND COVERED AND UP ON YOUR BED.

SLEEPING SO PEACEFUL THE ENTIRE NIGHT THROUGH
HER SNORING HAD MOMMY
AWAKE FOR A FEW.
ROMPING AND PLAYING
LAID UP ON THE STAIR
KNEW YOU WERE COMING BY SMELLING THE AIR.
HER FACE WAS SO CHEERFUL AND
COVERED WITH GLEE.
ONE BROWN AND ONE BLUE WAS HOW SHE WOULD SEE.

SHE WAITED SO PATIENT FOR DAD TO COME HOME.
WOULD BE NO SURPRISE IF SHE PICKED UP THE PHONE.
SHOWERED AND BATHED, HOW CLEAN SHE WOULD BE
STEPPED INTO THE STALL NOT EVEN A PLEA.

LOOKED FORWARD TO DINNER AND NEVER A FIGHT
CAUSE THERE WAS MORE COMING LATER THAT NIGHT.
FROM CHICKEN TO TWIZZLERS HOW HAPPY SHE’D BE
THE BONES AND THE TREATS EVERYDAY DID SHE SEE.

THE BLANKETS AND BEDS
CUSTOM WATER BOWLS, TOO.
TO THINK WHAT A LIFE
WHICH WAS SO FAR AND SO FEW
A SPECIAL DOG CALLED CANDYGIRL
A FULL LIFE SHE HAD LIVED
OWED MOMMY AND DADDY
A GREAT TIME DID THEY GIVE.

SO PLEASE DO NOT FRET
HER DESTINY’S COME.
A BEAUTIFUL CREATURE
HER JOB WAS WELL DONE.
LOOK FORWARD TO HEAVEN
CATCH UP IN A WHILE
THE MEMORIES A CONSTANT
LOOK BACK ON AND SMILE.
