My Favorite Animal Angel

A rescue dog she would be,                                                                                                      her halo was bright for all to see.                                                                                            She loved her blusher on both cheeks,                                                                                  the pink color she would seek.                                                                                          Riding in a car was a huge thrill,                                                                                               I made it a big deal.                                                                                                           With our seat belts now on,                                                                                                   we were both ready to make the car run.                                                                          Night was massage time as we drift off to sleep,                                                                    in the morning from the bed we would leap.                                                                       Now Angel is gone to heaven to wait,                                                                                   the rainbow bridge I need to cross has no date.
