A Million Times!

A million Times we've called you,A million tears we've cried.
If love could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,no one else will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you, The day God took you home.

To Lost Pets

They will not go gently
The pets who've shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives. . .
Old habits still can make us
think we hear them at the door
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor

Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be.
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.
Although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts
belongs to them. . .
and always,
always, . . .will.

Love My Pet

Please don't let me once forget
How I love my trusty pet,
Help me learn to disregard
Canine craters in the yard,
Show me how to be a buddy
Even when my couch is muddy,
Don't allow my pooch to munch
Postal carriers for his lunch,
Shield my neighbours cat from view
Guide my steps around the "doo",
Train me not to curse and scowl
When it's puppies night to howl,
Grant I shan't awake in fear
With a cold nose in my ear,
Give me patience without end
Help me be a "Dog's Best Friend"

Dogs Live Here

If you don't want to be greeted with paws and swinging tails,
Don't come inside, because DOGS LIVE HERE.

If you don't like the feel of a cold nose or wet tongue,
Don't come inside, because DOGS LIVE HERE.

If you don't want to step over scattered toys,
Don't come inside, because DOGS LIVE HERE.

If you think a home ought to smell of perfume,
Don't come inside, because DOGS LIVE HERE.

But if you don't mind all of this,
You will be instantly loved when you do come inside,
Because DOGS LIVE HERE.
