Return To Me
He sit by the door day after day
Waiting for her to return
Ready to play he'd patiently wait
'Til time for school to adjourn
A child and her dog, bonded in life
He became this little girl's friend
Raised from a puppy, he slept on her bed
Together, until the end
Walking home from school one day
She tripped on the sidewalk and fell
Rushed to the hospital, the little girl died
When her brain continued to swell
She didn't come home, he didn't understand
It was time to play their game
They tried to call him away from the door
But every day was the same
He'd sit by the door day after day
Waiting for her to return
Ready to play he'd patiently wait
'Til time for school to adjourn
