Twice in my life
I've lost a dear friend
the first a mixed Spitz'
and now a pomeranian

As a matter of fact
it was just days ago,
I'd arrived home from work
with no one at the door

I searched around
to her usual place
she looked so weak
with pain on her face

So I scooped her up
and drove to our vet
this time she was calm
and I was upset

The Doctor Just said
it's a matter of time
Her hearts gone weak
just tell me your mind

Then he went out
to give me some peace
then Ginger laid down
and went fast asleep

Her eyes still awake
as if she could speak
"I love you, dear friend
again we shall meet."

My wife broke down,
my kids said so long
but I was so strong
until I got back home

Would you believe
a 50 year old man
could cry like a baby
again and again

Now, so thankful am I
that she waited for me
to say our goodbyes
but not
for eternity

"I love you, my dear friend
and again we shall meet
Rainbow Bridge
is just waiting for me.
