"Many a times you’ll have to say
Goodbye good dog
I’ll see you later today
Despite the wagging tail, the droopy eyes
You’ll close the door
And sigh 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"
