Max as a pup! |
One night you came into my life
like a sweet angel in disguise.
like a sweet angel in disguise.
A black and white ball of fur
with the sweetest puppy eyes.
*
God surely must have known
I needed someone like you.
So he sent you on a mission
to love me through and through.
*
Now I had someone to care for
morning, noon, evening and night.
To love you with all my heart
make your days happy and bright.
*
In your own special little ways
you made me forget my sorrow.
You made sure, I never felt alone
brought me strength to face tomorrow.
*
My faithful, loving companion,
your devotion to me unsurpassed.
For thirteen years you guarded me
nothing much in return you asked.
*
God gave me the greatest gift of all
when he sent you to my door.
You became my very best friend,
my savior, and oh, so much more.
*
But some things are inevitable
even angel dogs grow tired and old.
Our Lord told Max to return to heaven
so he can rest his weary heart of gold.
*
No, please I can't go on without him
He's my greatest treasure. I love him so!
I'll be left with a heart that's broken,
oh, how can I possible ever let him go?
*
As my heart filled with endless tears
God told me to be selfless and kind.
Max had always given me his best
now we must give him peace of mind.
*
We shall free his spirit from his body
which is worn out with so much pain,
so he can frolic in the heavenly fields
as a happy and healthy pup again.
*
So the other night I held him in my arms
as I gazed into his wise but tired eyes.
I told him how much I truly loved him
and then he left for the heavenly skies.
*
No words can describe this pain I feel.
How will I find the strength to go on?
To face each day without my friend
shall be lonely now when he's gone.
*
Though his golden heart stopped beating
he's now a happy pup in a very special place.
Frolicking and playing with his angel friends,
barking with joy as he angel rabbits chase.
*
Max, you've been my rock, my joy, my love.
Thank you, God for sending him my way.
I give thanks to my sweet, furry little angel,
you made my life so much richer by the day.
Max

Though life goes on without you
it will never be the same.
Thank you, my angel
I'll always love you.
