MY BEST 4-FOOTED FRIEND
©Gary Bowman Flop-eared puppy on the beach, Seagulls scatter, out-of-reach Splashing, dashing waves come crashing in Running circles, round and round, playing till the sun goes down We thought this day would never end From sweet and joyous birth, To solemn, quiet, death This, our common destiny, Let us relish every breath Tears of joy, Tears of grief, Memories bring sweet relief Grateful for my fine 4-footed friend Side-by-side, dog and man, Fleeting footprints in the sand My confidante, my trusted friend Soulmates stroll along the shore, The two of us, this life explore We thought those days would never end From sweet and joyous birth, To solemn, quiet, death This, our common destiny, Let us relish every breath Tears of joy, Tears of grief, Memories bring sweet relief Grateful for my fine 4-footed friend Now, the sun is sinking low, Wonder where the years did go And…what lies around the bend Twilight shadows in the sky, Brush a teardrop, from my eye All good things, must come to an end From sweet and joyous birth, To solemn, quiet, death This, our common destiny, Let us relish every breath Tears of joy, Tears of grief, Memories bring sweet relief This song’s for you, My Best 4-Footed Friend |
