THOR FAWCETT
“Some animals come into our lives,and leave footprints in our hearts and we are never, ever the same.”
SPECIAL FRIEND
I lost a special friend today, the kind you can’t replace, And looking at his empty bed I still can see his face.
I see the endless energy, the sparkling puppy eyes, Not the tired, fragile friend I had to bid goodbye.
I know he’s in a special place our Lord has for such friends, Where meadows, fields & flowers help make them strong and whole again.
I remember how he’d run to me to play his favorite puppy game, And how his ears would perk right up when he heard me call his name.
But as those precious years went by and we both aged and grew, I’d find him often slowing down, but we had still so much to do.
I’ve noticed in the recent times his ears were not as sharp, Where is that running ball of fur, the years
have shown their mark.
He started sleeping next to me, was this his special clue, Because he felt the end was near,
I only wish I knew.
My Angel Thor was a special dog, I know he gave his best, But as I looked deep into his eyes I knew
it was time for him to rest.
It will truly be a struggle, I don’t know how I’ll face each day, I had to let him go, I know, but in my heart
he’ll always stay.
This special place our Lord has made, health and strength, wait for him there, So with my very special friend I’m sending all my prayers.
I know he’s watching over me, he’ll be with me when I cry,
So with one more kiss on his beloved head I told my Thor Dog goodbye.
Some see light at the end of the tunnel,
Thor went into it.
