A Dog's Life -
Bailey
by: G Page Singletary
At some point
at some point in time
the road comes to an
end
and we must say
goodbye
to a faithful friend
Fair well
little one
for your job here is
done
You've caught your
last ball
the yellow tennis can
shut tight
for the final time
You've run your last
sprint
You've jumped your
final jump
On this earth
you always
did
your job well
Extraordinarily swell
Oh Bailey
How high those jumps
So powerful those
jaws
As they held that
yellow ball
In a way that always
said
I got you guys
I got your back
I'm here for you
Your companion
Your best friend
Your little Christmas
morning pup
Through thick and
thin!
But now
I've gotten old and
frail
and the heart has
failed
Yet it is large, very
large
never small
A heart that says
I gave you my all
So, remember me
always
Always in YOUR hearts
I'm at peace now
Crossed over
to the other side
The rivers wide
The grass flies
around me
While I zig and zag
Looking down on you
always
My tail wags
I play with my ball again
I jump
I catch it
and I smile down on you
forever!
God bless Bailey!
