No Greater Love

Companions of our hearts,

companions of our soul

Each loving little creature,

an angel He bestowed

With loving eyes we see your own

We know when you will cry

We see beyond your reach

We know who’s gone awry

But most of all with our heart,

Please do not be so sad

Just know that we do love you

With everything we’ve had

We look at you with knowing eyes

Well beyond our pain

As if to say don’t cry for me

I wish that I could stay

Remember how I chased that ball

That you once threw for me

Remember how I greet you

With love unconditionally

Remember how I nuzzle you

When sadness crossed your heart

And remember how I love you

I never will be far

I’ll be the one to greet you

The day that you’ll join me

With wagging tail or purring heart

Delightful for we’re free

This I write your loving pet

For I was not this to you

I was your family member

Forever one true blue
