A Promise
Today I kept a promise that I gave to my dear friend
A vow that I'd be with him when he came to journey's end.
I promised food and shelter and I promised love and care,
I promised play and chew toys and I promised to be fair.
When he entered old age and his twilight stretched ahead
I said I'd walk beside him wherever his path led.
Today I kept my promise as he slipped quietly away
I know that he'll be waiting ...
when I cross that bridge someday.
