I wish I had a daisy
                                  for each time you've crossed my mind.
                                     I'd lay a trail of white and gold
                                        across the great divide.

                                        I wish I had an orchid
                                     for each tear I've cried for you,
                                        I'd fill the deepest ocean
                                   and watch the waves come through.

                                          I wish I had a lily
                                     for each memory that we made,
                                    I'd plant them in the clouds above,
                                     in tribute to your loving ways.

                                        I wish I had a rosebud
                                     for each earthly day you lived,
                                     I'd pave a soft and fragrant path
                                  to your new home at Rainbow Bridge.

                          I will miss you my dear friend,
                           Our time together had to end.
                       I had you in my life so many years,
                         And in the end cried many tears.

                          My life will never be the same,
                 The angels wanted you, I can lay no blame.
                  The joy you brought me, they wanted too.
               One day they would come for you, that I knew.

                   I will always cherish our love and bond,
                       And try to accept that you're gone.
                          In my heart you'll always stay,
                   And I'll feel your love for me day by day.

                         Know that you're my best friend,
                         And in time my heart will mend.
                               I love you so very much,
                        And forever our hearts will touch.
