May I go now? I've lived my life and done my best, an example tried to be. So can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free? I didn't want to go at first, I fought with all my might. But something seems to draw me now to a warm and loving light.   My road has come to an end. No more can I ramble by your side Your loved and trusted friend. I know you're sad because I see your tears.   I will not be far, I promise that, and hope you will always know that my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go.   Thank you so for loving me. You know I love you, too. That's why it's hard to say goodbye and end this life with you.   So hold me now just one more time and let me hear you say, because you care so much for me, you'll let me go today.

My eyes, once filled with joy of life, Are dimmed with pain and sadness. The walks we shared by field and stream Must wait for another day.   You cared for me with all your heart, And I gave you my all. But now, beloved friend, Another Master calls.   I know you hate to let me go, But my love is yours to keep.   Your kindness made my life a joy. You love me, this I know. Show me your love one final time And gently let me go.   Remembering 2 next Belgium's pawprint February 21, 2009
