Davey Boy

He was such a good friend
Our best buddy, right up to the end

A stranger on the street
He was always delighted to meet

A friendlier dog you never would see
Yet, a special love he had for Brigitte and me

I knew our day of parting was getting close to hand
His front legs were OK, but his back legs were weak

I knew he was a fighter
He had beaten kidney disease and cancer

Yet, he showed us that when it comes to old age
none of us have the answer

God grant his soul to wait for me
I won’t be here much longer
