Your favorite chair is vacant now... br No eager barks to greet me. br No softly padded paws to run br Ecstatically to meet me. br No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry br I will never say it's time for feeding again. br I've put away your bowl, and all br The things you won't be needing; br But I will miss you little friend, br For I could never measure br The happiness you brought me, br The comfort and the pleasure. br And since God put you here to share br In earthly joy and sorrow; br I'm sure there'll be a place for you br In Heaven's bright tomorrow...
