Old dog in a locket That lies next to my heart
Now I hold you in my arms Your breath still warm against my hand
I snipped the hair from around your eyes So I would always see
I snipped the hair from across your back
And so, your life slipped out of mine On a quiet spring like day
--- Author unknown ---
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
Our hearts still beat together And I wonder if you understand
Through the hours that I held you Before the light did leave your soul
I knew a way to keep you Forever in my hold
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
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
But I knew that a part of you Old dog in a locket
That lays next to my heart I will always love you
Even though we had to part
