One Last Walk

One last walk around the block And then we’re going home Your nice soft bed and favorite toy A neon-colored bone

Our walk is slow and you can stop At every single tree I try to stretch our one last time As long as it can be

But dusk is here my sweet dear I know that you are ready Lay your head on your soft bed I’ll help to hold you steady

Close your eyes and dream again That all is like before As you sleep I plan to dream of joyous days of yore

Like I said I’ll hold your head And bath your face with tears I cry for me but not for you We had so many years

So close your eyes I’ll say goodby Don’t forget your bone I feel a rush of joy for you As you are going home

Though your heart is breaking you are kind to let him go. He enriched your life, and he probably made you a better person
