Our Day
One set of paw prints stretch down the beach,
Where once there was two, you are just out of reach.
Each step that I take, each stone that I turn
Reminds me of you and my eyes sting and burn,
Each wave that rolls in, each stick that I throw
Reminds me of you and my tears start to flow.
Your other companion keeps his nose to the ground,
Searching and searching till you he has found.
He can't understand where you have gone,
He wants you back home where you belong.
I look in his eyes and see to his soul,
He misses you Zella, and his tears start to fall.
I know that in silence you walk by my side,
Catching the tears that I try to hide.
Not a bark not a sound, as you run with me still,
Not a stone is disturbed as I climb up the hill.
From the first light of dawn to the darkness of night,
I know you are with me, so this grief I must fight.
Down the lane I will walk, but I wont hear your steps,
They are cushioned with love, from my heart's deepest depths.
I won't hear your bark, nor see your face,
But deep in my soul will be your special place.
I will look to the sky and call out your name
There will be tears in my heart till we meet again.
We've travelled life's highway since the first light of dawn,
With you by my side I was never alone.
We played in the sunshine and sheltered from rain,
We ran through the grasslands and walked down the lane.
And then in your twilight we'd sit by the fire,
For age has it's price, and you would soon tire.
The night is now here and I walk all alone,
The angels have taken you for their very own.
So have a safe journey, my companion, my friend,
This day will return, but never shall end.
