This is Your Last Walk

This is your last walk, my friend
I will be with you until it ends
There will be no demands to obey
No commands to sit or stay
No leash or harness or gentle tugs
Just farewell kisses and final hugs
This is your last walk, my friend

This is your last walk, my friend
I will be with you until it ends
And then you will be free
To sniff the grass and explore the trees
To bark at the moon and stars
To run in streets with no fear of cars
To dance in a new, beautiful universe
Where doggy pleasures always come first

And way down here, below, below
I struggle so hard to let you go
To say goodbye to a friend so loyal, so loving, and so true
To say goodbye to the friend that is you.

This is your last walk, my friend
You will find peace at the very end
You will know you did your very best
And you have earned a well-deserved rest
