Tommy Special FriendTommy Special Friend

I lost a special friend today  

the kind you can't replace,  

and looking at his empty bed  

I still can see his face. 

TommyTommyI know he's in a

special place  our Lord has for such friends,  

Where meadows, fields & flowers  help make them strong and whole

again

TommyTommyI see the endless

energy  the sparkling puppy eyes,  Not the tired, fragile friend  

I had to bid goodbye.

TommyTommyI remember how he'd run to me  

to play his favorite puppy

game,  And how his ears would perk right

up  When he heard

me call his name

TommyTommyBut as those precious

years went by  And we both aged

and grew,  I'd find his often slowing down  

But-we had still so much to do

TommyTommyEaster stands out in

my mind  As he would always

find the eggs,  The kids would

have their baskets full  

And he'd be there to beg.

TommyTommy

Then there was the Christmas tree  

with lots of candy canes,  

As he devoured all he could  

Surely, hoping it'd still look the same!

TommyTommy

he did is guard dog duty well  

Each time the doorbell rang,  Strangers surely

couldn't see  My gentle friend--

behind those fangs.

TommyTommy

I've noticed in the recent times  

His ears were not as sharp,  

Where is that running ball of fur  

The years have shown their mark.

TommyTommyhe started sleeping

next to me  Was this his special

clue,  Because he felt the

end was near  I only wish I knew.

TommyTommyMy Tommy was a

special dog  I know he gave his

best,  But as I looked

deep into his eyes  I knew it was time,

for him to rest.

TommyTommy

It will truly be a struggle  

I don't know how I'll face each day,  I have to let him

go--I know  But in my heart

he'll always stay.

TommyTommyThis special place our

Lord has made  Health and

strength, wait for him there,  

So with my very special friend  

I'm sending all my prayers

TommyTommybe with me when I

cry,   I know he's

watching over me  he'll So with one more kiss on his beloved head  

I told my Tommy Dog goodbye.
