*Rainbow Bridge Remembrances*

I’ll Remember You.

They brought me up when I was young to win them wealth and fame.
But when I lost a race or two they soon forgot my name.
My life was full of loneliness; I’d spend hours in my crate,
I had a few good friends, but losing sealed their fate.

They kicked them out, one by one, because losing was such a sin,
I watched their sad eyes when they walked by, never to see them again.
One day they walked me to the track, I heard the starting gun,
I ran as fast as I could run, but another dog had won.

They pulled me by my collar and dragged me back inside,
They screamed and yelled and cursed at me, even though I really tried.
Suddenly it was over, the cheers had finally died,
They came and got me late at night and took me for a ride.

My face began to tremble, my heart began to race,
I knew my turn had finally come, but then I saw your face…
I was so scared, I closed my eyes, I thought this was the end,
I didn’t know that you had come because you are my friend.

I know you really love me; I’m having so much fun,
You feed me really well each day and take me for a run.
And when I’m old and feeble and must be put to sleep–
Don’t be sad and please don’t weep,
Because of you my life was sweet.

I’m going home to see my friends, those who had a tragic end,
And when they see me coming, and say “Hey, where have you been?”
I’ll turn and say, In Heaven…It’s true!
And then…. I’ll Remember You!
