Perhaps You Remember...

You sent me a puppy years ago,
Perhaps You remember...I named him 'Mo.
A golden little dog who came to be
a special angel You lent to me.

We shared so much together, we two,
for all that You gave us, I'm grateful to You.
We laughed, we talked, we ran and we played,
I'm grateful for every year that he stayed.

A while ago You called for him,
to return to You in Heaven again.
I gave him back with tears and a prayer
that You'd hold him for a moment when he got there.

I know You're busy, with so much to do...
but could I ask a favor of You?
I know there's so many who need Your care,
but if You have just a moment to spare...

Could you check on the angel You lent to me?
Make sure he's where he's supposed to be?
He had that tendency to wander, You know,
perhaps You remember......his name is 'Mo.

My heart was shattered six months ago
when I said good-bye to my precious 'Mo.
I let him go with hugs and tears,
my little soul-mate for 14 years.
So many happy memories, it's true....
they patch my heart like bits of glue.
But tears still come most every day
and wash a little of the patch away.
My heart still aches and doesn't know
how to go on.....how to let go.
Be happy at the Bridge my little one,
I'll come for you when my time is done...

My 'Mo with his wings......

"Just A Dog"

You told me he was "just a dog"...
like a knife your words cut my heart.
He was there to help me through
right from the very start.
In times of joy and happiness
you were both right here with me....
but in my moments of quiet despair,
where were you? .... he was there!
And on those days of silent sorrow
he gave me the hope of a brighter tomorrow.
And while most times you were too busy
to hear my tears being cried in the dark,
he was the one who comforted me
on a long walk in the the park.
After you left, through tear-filled eyes,
I gradually came to realize,
though your words caused me pain, it's true,
please know I have forgiven you.
How sad it is that you'll never know
"just a dog" who loves you so....
