Fritz Mans Best Friend

My heart is heavy and my eyes can’t see I’m at peace though… she’ll live for eternity Greeted me at the door each and every day Helped me through the rough times That seemed to come my way A loyal companion always there for me Her name was Fritz…today I set her free Free from the pain I saw in her eyes I grew so attached are you surprised My heart is broken but it will mend I now know why … they’re mans best friend She never complained always there to please Shoulda seen her fur coat…blowing in the breeze All dogs go to heaven so I’ll see her soon Used to eat peanut butter from a baby rubber spoon She made my life brighter… slept with me at night She’d take my socks off…but she’d never bite Running off leash there in the park Many adventures did we embark I’m gonna miss her and miss her dearly If the tears ever dry… I’ll see clearly My heart is broken but it will mend I now know why … they’re mans best friend She never complained always there to please She would light up…when I pulled out the cheese All dogs go to heaven and I’ll see her soon No more peanut butter from a baby rubber spoon She’s in a better place… and free from the pain But the tears still come… harder than the rain I cherish the memories of her wagging tail I think of her daily…can you hear me wail?
