I lost a treasured friend today,
The little dog who used to lay,
Her gentle head upon my knee,
And shared her silent thoughts with me.
Although my eyes are filled with tears,
I thank God for 11 happy years,
He let her spend down here with me,
And for her love and loyalty.
When it is time for me to go,
And join her there, this much I know,
I shall not fear the transient dark,
For she will greet me with her happy bark.
