"Many a times you’ll have to say
Goodbye good dog
I’ll see you later today

Despite the waggy tail, the droopy eyes
You’ll close the door
And kiss goodbye

“I’ll be back soon” you’ll say
And when you come
He is there to play

Day after day, night after night
Your good dog
Is by your side

You’ll feed him treats, You’ll walk him walks
Every single day
You’ll care for your dog

On some days you will think
Is this too much?
Plus there’s all this stink

And then one day you’ll realise
All this while
He kept you alive

It will be late by that time
Perhaps he’s old
Maybe a little blind

You’ll know then, that it’s time
This time
It’s his goodbye

He’ll go only once and you’ll know for sure
As he won’t be there anymore
At the other side of the door"
