You were just a tiny puppy
Your manners were a fright!
Shoes became your favorite toy
I hid them all from sight!

I had to find a name for you
From those inside my head.
But every time I looked at you
All I could see was Fred.

You loved to travel with me
You'd wait beside the door
As if I would have left you!
It would have been a bore!

When I was sick and lonely
And curled up in my bed
I'd feel you right beside me
And I'd be well instead.

I prayed I'd never lose you
How could I ever let you go?
But all too soon the angels came...
Now tears are all I know.

I pray the Lord will keep you safe
Until my life is through...
And fill all my tomorrows
With yesterday...and you!

Goodnight, my sweet angel ... Until the morning comes!
