My Best Friend

Dog is God spelled backwards The purest form of love And if you've had a furry friend You'll know what I speak of You came into my life Giving love that had no end You'd greet me with your wagging tail Whenever I came in You had all kinds of nicknames Like Bubba and ornery boy You chewed up all the toys I gave You brought me years of joy You left without a warning You were always full of life I'm sure you got the wings you earned When God came for you that night Time will never lessen The tears that fill my eyes For when I think of you My furry little guy I'll go on through this life Always missing my best friend Any man would be so lucky To have so true a friend And if Heaven holds my mansion When I open of its doors My furry friend I'll meet and greet We'll never part no more
