We all sat upon the floor
And our eyes filled with tears
Our doggie passed away this morning
Who'd been with us many years

Her father sat and read this poem
He received it from a friend
The ever famous "Rainbow Bridge"
Where our friends go in the end

We were very young back then
We didn't understand
Why God took our precious babies
To this enchanting land

Many years have gone and passed
Since I heard it on that day
Until one very tragic morning
When my baby passed away

For the longest time it seemed to me
That no one else would care
That I was going through such pain
Until she took me there

It was such a lovely website
With grief support and more
That's where I read the poem again
And remembered years before

I believe she went to Heaven
I know she's in no pain
But it's so hard without her
Alone here, I remain

I think about her every night
And cry myself to sleep
My cuddle buddy is not there
And that's what makes me weep

I can't replace the one I've lost
But I've made a new best friend
She doesn't take your place, per say
But she's helped my heart mend

But then I get to thinking
If you've had many leave your side
Will they all be up there waiting,
For all the times you cried?

I do so hope I see them all
Cuz I've had more than just one friend
To reunite with all I've lost
On the day that I ascend.
