Old Dog in a Locket

          Old dog in a locket
          That lies next to my heart,
          I will always love you
          As I did from the start.
          You were right beside me
          Through the darkest of days
          It was your kind and gentle nature
          That made me want to stay.
          As I held you in my arms
          Your breath still warm against my hand,
          Our hearts still beat together
          So I was sure you'd understand.
          Through the hours that I held you
          Before the light left your soul,
          I knew a way to keep you
          Forever in my hold.
          I snipped the hair from around your eyes
          So I would always see
          The beauty that surrounds me
          Even in times of need.
          I snipped the hair from around your ears
          So I would always hear
          Music in the distance
          To quiet any fears.
          I snipped the hair from across your back
          To bring me strength in times of need
          And the power of your essence
          Would always be with me.
          I snipped the hair from around your heart
          That beats in time with mine
          So I would know that love would find me
          At some distant time.
          And so, your life slipped out of mine
          On a quiet, spring-like day
          But I knew that part of you
          Was always here to stay.
          Old dog in a locket
          That lies next to my heart
          I will always love you
          Even though we had to part.
