Don't grieve too long for now i'm free
I'm following the path God set for me
I ran to Him when I heard His call
I wagged my tail and left it all

I could not stay another day
To bark,to love, to romp or play
Games left unplayed must stay that way
I found such peace it made my day

My parting has left you with a void
So fill it with your remembered joy
A friendship shared, your laugh a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too shall miss

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full, you've given so much
Your time, your love and gentle touch

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, he set me free.
