My Dog in a locket That lies next to my heart
I will always love you As I did right from the start
You were right beside me Through the darkest of my days
It was your kind and gentle nature That made me want to stay
Now I hold you in my arms your breath still warm against my hand
our hearts still beat together And I wonder if you understand
Through the hours I held you Before the light did leave your soul
I knew away to keep you Forever in my hold
I snipped the hair from around your eyes So I would always see
The beauty that surrounds me Even in times of need
I snipped the hair from around your ears So I would always hear
Music in the distance To quiet any fears
I snipped the hair from across your back
to bring me strength in time of need
And the power of your essence Would always be with me
I snipped the hair from around your heart That beat in time with mine
So I would know that love would find me At some distant time
And So, your life slipped out of mine ON a quiet spring like day
but I knew that apart of you my dog in a locket
That lays next to my heart I will always love you
Even though we had to part
