Sad Day

Treasured Friend


I lost a treasured friend today

The dog who used to lay

His gentle head upon my knee

And share his silent thoughts with me...

He'll come no longer to my call

Retrieve no more his favorite ball

A voice far greater than my own

Has called him to His golden throne.

Although me eyes are filled with tears,

I thank Him for the happy years

He let him spend down here with me

And for his love and loyalty.

When it is time for me to go

And join him there, this much I know...

I shall not fear the transient dark

For he will greet me with his bark.
