If only I could speak.
I arrived at your home sad and scared, I had to learn just what to do,
My life had been so lonely, I lie down beside you every chance I get,
When I hear you leaving But then you return to me
If only I could speak to you I love you for your kindness,
Thank you for allowing me to be by your side,
For I will be looking down from heaven You can let him have my old bed, really I won't care.
I will always be close by my friend, So let more Greyhounds fill your life,
I could race no more.
You welcomed me with open arms,
With hugs and much, much more.
In this house so fine,
You showed me where to eat and drink,
You have been so kind.
No one to cuddle up to,
But now I am so lucky,
I know that I have you.
I love you with all my heart.
You've showed me you are there for me,
May we never be apart.
I know I must stay in my crate,
I stand there for a few minutes,
And wait and wait and wait.
And my heart begins to race.
I realise you have come back to me,
You can see the happiness in my face.
The way you speak to me,
The first words I would whisper
Would most definitely be.
For your warmth and caring ways,
For taking time to be with me
Each and every day.
To go for walks, play with toys, just to beam with pride.
I'll be your friend forever, untill the day I die,
When that day comes my friend, please try not to cry.
Upon my lovely old home,
Where hopefully another very lucky Greyhound
Will be fortunate to roam.
It will make me feel good to know that he's happy with you there.
I know your heart will always have a place in it for me
Just as mine has one for you for all eternity.
and this you will see,
For the warmth in your heart that you feel each day
Will most likely be coming from me.
Now that I have gone,
Thank you my guardian angel on earth,
For all that you have done.
Two pics. on this page. I couldn't decide which was the best one, they are both lovely.
