Lend Me A Pup
I will lend to you for awhile
a puppy, God said
For you to love him while he lives
and to mourn for him when he is gone.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe for two or three
But will you, till I call him back
take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and (should his stay be brief)
you'll always have his memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise that he will stay,
since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below
I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true
And from the folk that crowd life's land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate me when I come to take my pup back again

My beautiful Pookie Bear, I miss you more than words can say. I know the last month of your life wasn't easy, and I am so sorry I couldn't do more to make you comfortable and happy. I feel the guilt of that everyday. You were so loyal and so sweet. A gentle giant. I so hope that over there beyond the Rainbow Bridge, you are running and playing like you couldn't do for so long here on earth. I always felt safe with you here. Even though we lived by ourselves, I never worried that anything would happen to me, b/c you would protect me to the end. There was never any doubt about that. Thank you, my beautiful son, for your devotion and loyalty. I hope you know how much you are loved and missed. I will see you again one day. Wait for me. But, of course, you will. That's just the kind of precious, loyal soul you are. RIP Pook.
