It's never easy to say goodbye
When they speak to us with their eyes.
When their bodies are tired, weak and old
And the love we've shared is pure gold.
The measure of friendship is put to the test
When a life is over and it's time to rest.
From deep in their hearts their eyes will ask
Please ease my pain - your most difficult task.
There's joy in the memories, treasure them all
Whether fetching a stick or chasing a ball.
So go now, you're free to run and play
Where the sun always shines day by day.
For the Master you serve now is gracious and fair
And He'll love you and guide you until I am there.

For all the joy you've given me
For the glory days gone by.
My best and final gift, my baby,
I give you wings to fly.

Until we meet at the Bridge, all my love, my precious Buddy. Mommy loves you and misses you SO much.
