Chelsea Mourning
Chelsea Mourning
We’ve been so close down through the years
Now we’ve said goodbye through many tears
God called me home…”too soon” you said
As you held me close and cradled my head
You knew this battle could not be won
And did what you knew, must be done.
You didn’t want me to suffer so
And so it was, that you let me go
You held my paw in your trembling hand
And I hope someday you will understand
What you did was for the best
For I was ready for my rest
You stopped the pain you saw in my eyes
As you tearfully said your sad goodbyes
Your love and friendship has set me free
Please don’t cry and grieve for me!
Remember the good times we three have had
(Forget all the times that I was bad)
Tell all the squirrel’s and birds goodbye
They can roam free now under the sky
We’ve laughed, we’ve traveled so many miles
Together we’ve shared so many smiles
Me in the back seat…you in the front
From the time I was a little runt
For fifteen years we've shared each day
I've never thought of running away
Though there were times when I was just a pup
You wished that I would hurry up
And train myself to pee in the yard
And I really did try very hard!
I'd watch you as you cleaned the rug
Knowing today there'd be no hug!
I’ll still be there with you , I’m still here
I’ll be watching you both, so never fear
You won’t see me…but I’ll see you
Watching everything you do
Good friends never say goodbye
Just “see you later” bye and bye
So dry your tears and try to smile
I’ll see you both in a little while!
