Good Bye Murphy
Were at the Vets now,
today is a time I didn't
want to come.
Your in so much pain
and so depressed, it
hurts me to see you suffer.
I love you so Murphy,
I remember so many
things about you.
You really did some
funny things, like
come over to my bed,
I heard this real
quite growl to
let me know,
that you had to
go outside, you
would do that each night,
I remember when
you would go lay
down between the couch,
and the wall,
I could always
find you there resting.
I remember
how you use to
paw me when you
wanted something
or how you set
up on your rump.
Many times while
outside, you would
bark to come in,
I would tell you
shut up, but
the more I did that,
the more you barked
until I said your such
a pushy dog, then I gave in.
For 12 years 8 Months
and 5 days you were
my faithful dog.
Now I must say
good bye, it hurts
me deeply, as
I stand here with
a broken heart,
this is so hard for me.
I don't want to
let you go,
but I must.
Murphy I will
take your love
and memory to my grave.
