Poem
Goodbyes, they seem to consume me Too often in my life People are departing and friends moving on And yesterday was another To a friend that I loved Who loved me back That I know. And my hurting is so great Like I have lost a child And the tears flow freely As I hold on to memories. He was my dog, And you might laugh He was my friend And he had my heart He was so faithful And he never complained He was a part of me I’ll never be the same He was getting old And his legs where failing Sometimes he would fall And he couldn’t get up He would bark for me To lend him a hand And with that smile in his eyes He would thank me again. I didn’t want him to suffer And I didn’t want him gone The decision was so hard I kept putting it off and on But then came yesterday And I knew that it was too long And I wasn’t being fair To leave him was wrong I called him and he came And I put him in the car And I took him to the vet He just trusted me so much He followed along Just like a lamb I wonder if he knew Just what I had planned I told the vet What I wanted done He said it was for the best The dog was not very strong He took out his shaver And he clipped off some hair Then bought out the needle With green stuff in there He checked with me once And asked if I was right I nodding my head Didn’t trust my voice And slowly and carefully He slipped in the point And pressed on the plunger And the green stuff went home That dog did not whimper Not any sound at all He lay there so trusting He looked like a saint Then suddenly he slumped And the needle was spent The vet checked his heartbeat And said it was gone. I loved him, I loved him And I miss him so much I hope that his happy In the new world that his at No more pain for that dear dog No more fear No more falls No more thunder to scare him No more pain in his joints No more visions he can’t see No more sounds he can’t hear No more knowing in this world He can’t do what he could. I love you my Teddy dog You where such a good friend And I wish you the very best In this new world where you’ve gone I hope you’ll forgive me For the end that you had And hope that you know Ted I loved you so much. I LOVE YOU TEDDY GOODBYE MY DEAR FRIEND
