" Dolly "
April 16 1987 ------ Dec. 26 1998
Toy Poodle
Our Little "Dolly"
She was just a little dog
Oh how I loved her so,
That is why I keep her in my heart
everywhere I go.
She came to us one summer
as our son took a wife,
She filled the empty space
and became the joy of our life.
She passed away last week
but I see her everywhere,
On the hearth fast asleep
or stretched out by my chair.
She fetched our daily paper
and brought it to our feet,
I can still feel her gentle nudge
saying "Where's my treat?"
She knew her toys by name
She could race and fetch a ball,
She never wandered far away
and always came at our call.
If there's "golden streets in heaven
and no crying there,"
I hope to see my Dolly lying by my chair.
