Man's Best Friend
He was the best of dogs,
Always smiling,
Always playful,
Always happy.
But now he's gone forever.
Never to move,
Never to run,
Never to breathe.
I will never get to play with him again.
And I'm left to ponder this one lonely question,
"Why God why? Why let this happen? Why let him leave?"
Because he's gone from this world,
The best of dogs,
Man's best friend.
Always smiling,
Always playful,
Always happy.
But now he's gone forever.
Never to move,
Never to run,
Never to breathe.
I will never get to play with him again.
And I'm left to ponder this one lonely question,
"Why God why? Why let this happen? Why let him leave?"
Because he's gone from this world,
The best of dogs,
Man's best friend.
I wrote this when my dog Streak died, I was twelve at the time. I think it was the second loss I had to deal with, my Gigi died a few years back. He was my companion while growing up and he was just such a great dog.
