And when the end is drawing near
And you try to stem the tears,
She licks your hand with a happy sigh,
Knowing you are standing by
And when she reaches Heaven's Gate
The Lord says "Come", But she says "Wait"
"I have a friend I love so dear
And I can feel her footsteps near."
When your life is over, your near God's throne,
One happy glance, You're not alone!
Your loving pet, so patient waits,
To pass with you through Heaven's Gate
