A Precious Goldie called Max

A Precious Goldie called Max. we will never forget you. A A beautiful day dawned when we first met our Max, the littlest one, the runt of the pack. P Playful and precious he became to us R Running around causing so much fuss E Evenings came and his food he enjoyed C Calling out to each of us in that great big voice I Into everything that he could find O Often getting in trouble because he walked continually behind U Under and over the furniture and toys S Silly little games that he so enjoyed G God had provided for us a dog to love O Oh how we knew he had been sent from above L Love overwhelmed us as we took him into our home D Daily he grew and learnt how to roam I Instantly bonding and ruling the roost E Everyone that met him got such a boost C Constantly giving companionship to us A As the years rolled by we always made such a fuss L Love from him was nothing new L Little did we know how many toys he would chew E Eternity seemed to be so far away D Daring us to never want to say a sad farewell one day M Many years passed and max became ill A Altogether we cried and wished this illness would be still X , X rayed on his heart was our images at will W What a beautiful dog whos love was always at full mast E Everything seemed to be moving to fast W We wanted him well, but old Max knew he wouldnt last I Instantly aware of his needs we made life such a blast L Lovingly feeding him the treats that he craved L Little by little we lost him each day N Never in a million years did we think E Each day would be so precious as we bonded that link V Vast amounts of play and many hours of fun E Everyone lavished this dog with some R Rarely did Max complain as he battled his illness that he tried to overcome F Forever seems to be a word that we knew was getting near O Old Max was getting ready, he was packing his gear R Rainbow Bridge was now in his view, he was nearing the bend G God was calling him; he needed a helper, & we knew who to send E Endings are so quick and his walk was swift T Time for Max to take on one last shift Y Years he spent here have come to an end O Oh how sweet is our little friend U Ushering him into Gods arms and his care We suddenly became very aware, As he looked at us all his eyes seemed to say, .. I love you all so much, please my family, dont cry. Youve given me a life that was great, you befriended me and made me your mate. You fed me and walked me spent hours awake, just caring for me when I got into a state. You always gave me so much love, I was never hungry or cold or left with no care, you, my family were always there. I was so proud to be your dog, dont ever forget that, youre a great mob. I have to go now, I need to sleep, God wants me at the bridge today, you see, there are lots of games that he wants me to play. Miss me but let me go, and my family I want you to know.. I will be waiting at that gate for you, I will keep watch on the bend, of that you can be sure, and one day I will greet you, and we will be together once more. With a flick of his tail and a sigh with a smile Max left us for a place that will shine, because it has Max there all the time. Our lives feel that we have been left with such emptiness, but as we gaze at your photo we know thats not true, you filled us with love and companionship that will never be forgotten, and will one day be renewed. Thank you Max for being our dog, it was such a pleasure to care for you, love you, walk you and talk to you. Your memory lives on and your pictures we will keep, youve gone down in history as a dog that gave heaps. As we say farewell we know its so true, that the Rainbow Bridge is now even better because they have you. Good bye our old mate, and remember to wait, because well join you one day at that beautiful gate.
