THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO OUR LOST FRIENDS &COMPANIONS

 I WAS STANDING ON A HILLSIDE
IN A FIELD OF BLOWING WHEAT
AND THE SPIRIT OF MY LOYAL FRIEND
WAS LYING AT MY FEET
 HE LOOKED AT ME WITH KIND DARK EYES
AN ANCIENT WISDOM
SHINING THROUGH
AND IN THE ESSENCE
OF HIS BEING'I SAW LOVE THERE TOO
HIS MIND DID LOCK
UPON MY HEART
AS I STOOD THERE ON THAT DAY
 AND HE TOLD ME OF THIS STORY
ABOUT A PLACE SO FAR AWAY
I STOOD UPON THAT HILLSIDE
IN A FIELD OF BLOWING WHEAT
AND IN A TWINKLING OF A SECOND
HIS SPIRIT LEFT MY FEET
HIS TALE DID PUT MY HEART AT EASE
MY FEARS DID FADE AWAY
ABOUT WHAT LAY AHEAD OF ME ON ANOTHER DISTANT DAY
I,M IN THE HEAVENS OF YOUR MIND
SO DO NOT GRIEVE FOR ME MY FRIEND
AS I AM WITH MY KIND
MY COLLAR IS A RAINBOW
MY LEASH IS A SHOOTING STAR
WHERE I SPARKLE FROM AFAR
THERE ARE NO PENS OR KENNALS HERE
FOR I AM NOT CONFINED
BUT FREE TO ROAM GODS KINGDOM
AMONG MY K.9 KIND
I NAP THE DAY ON A SNOWY CLOUD
GENTLE BREEZES ROCKING ME
AND DREAM THE DREAM THAT EARTHLINGS
AND HOW IT USED TO BE
THE TREES ARE FULL OF LIVER TREATS
AND TENNIS BALLS ABOUND
AND MILKYBONES LINE THE WALK WAYS
JUST WAITING TO BE FOUND
THERE IS EVEN A RING SET UP
ALL LUSH AND GREEN
AND EVERYONE WHO GAITS AROUND
BECOMES THE BEST OF BREED
FOR WE HAVE NO FAULTS YOU SEE
AND GOD PASSES OUT THOSE RIBBONS
TO EACH ONE EVEN ME
A DRINK FROM WATERS LACED WITH  GOLD
MY WORLD A BEAUTY TO BEHOLD
AND WISE OLD DOGS DO FORM MY PRIDE
TO AMBLE AT MY VERY SIDE
AT NIGHT I SLEEP BY AN ANGEL
HER WINGS PROTECTING  ME
AND MOONBEAMS DANCE ABOUT US
AS STARDUST FALLS ON THEE
SO WHEN YOUR LIFE ON EARTH IS SPENT
AND YOU STAND AT HEAVENS GATE
HAVE NO FEAR OF LONELINESS
FOR HERE YOU KNOW I WAIT
