My Old Pal

My Old Pal

I miss you old pal more each day.
I grieve since you have gone away.
We were young many days ago.
I left the house you wanted to go.


Roam through the secluded hills.
With you following at my heels.
I needed a friend you were there.
An unconditional love to share.


You were a young healthy pup.
I was a kid having fun growing up.
Love grew sad when you took sick.
You didn't want to play or do tricks.


The time came to put you down.
Heart broken for the friend I'd found.
I buried you Old Pal in the side yard.
I can be near you but it's still hard.


God has a heaven for dogs like you.
I hope when I go home I see you too.
You will never be forgotten my old pal.
If I see a dog it will be you somehow.
