GOODBYE

With heavy hearts, and a tear in our eyes

after all these years, we must say goodbye.

Please understand we've done all we could

if there was anything we could do, you know we would.

I'm sitting right here, gently rubbing your ears

while I talk to you softly, trying to hold back the tears.

The memories you gave us, we'll never forget

especially the ones of the day we all met.

One last hug, and one last kiss

you have no idea how much you'll be missed.

To look into your eyes, this one last time

you tell me it's okay, you know it's your time.

Close your eyes now and go to sleep

we'll pray to the Lord your soul he'll keep.

Go in peace now, our good friend

we'll stay right here with you until the end.

Dream of that special day and time

when we'll meet at the Bridge, and all will be fine.

we'll run and play, side by side

with a soft warm feeling, down deep inside.

Your memory will live on in each of us,

you'll always be number one to all of us.

Have a safe journey, through the night

I promise when you awake, you'll be in God's light.

So with heavy hearts, and tears in our eyes

just for now my friend, we say goodbye.

We lost our first "baby", Jake, on Saturday August 8th. He had been sick for awhile, and was suffering. Nine years went by so fast, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. I still can't believe he is gone, I was just so use to having him around. I know he is in a better place now where he can run around without feeling any pain, waiting to greet all of us when it's our turn to go to heaven. Goodbye Jake, you brought so much to our lives and you will never be forgotten!
