Paw Prints in the Sand
by Donna Messer
We walked together you and I
Along the shore, beneath the sky.
Friends forever we will be
My pet, my pal, just you and me.
Watchful always, aware of life
A calming strength, relieving
strife.
Cold nose, warm eyes, a paw
well-placed
You made my world a better place.
You came, it seemed, from up above
A gift from God providing love.
You never asked for more from me
Than love returned; a family.
Our days together remembered well.
Oh the stories you could tell.
Sadness you could always see
your stalwart presence there for
me.
We walked along the sands of time,
Footprints left, yours and mine.
In my heart you'll always be
My best friend eternally.
I gazed upon the sands of time
The prints I saw that day weren't
mine
They were yours and yours alone,
God had come to take you home.
