Dedicated to those who have left our lives
- but not our heart
|
"I'll lend you for a little while,
a sheepdog pup", God said,
"For you to love him while he
lives and mourn for when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen
years, or only two or three
But will you, 'til I call him
back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden
you, and (should his stay be brief)
You'll always have his memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught
below I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true,
And from the folk that crowd
lifes' land I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your
love nor think the labour vain.
Nor hate me when I come to take
my Bobtail back again?"
I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, thy will be done,
For all the joys this pup will
bring the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
forever grateful stay.
But should you come to call him
back much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief
that comes and try to understand.
If by our love we've managed
your wishes to achieve,
In memory of him we loved, to
help us while we grieve.
When our shaggy faithful bundle
departs this world of strife
We'll have another tailless pup
and we'll love him all his life."

You made me laugh, you made me cry.
You brought me happiness, you brought me sorrow. You were easy to live
with and you were a nightmare. And I loved you to pieces. You gave me your
friendship, and because of you now I know who my true friends are. With
you I began this sweet crazy thing called dog breeding, and I promise you
that all SeaLords dogs will go back to you, so I can find a little piece
of you in each one of them. Till we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.
