Old dog in a locket That lies next to my heart.
I will always love you As I did right from the start.
You were right beside me Through the darkest of my days.
It was your kind and gentle nature That made me want to stay.
Now I hold you in my arms Your breath still warm against my hand.
Our hearts still beat together And I wonder if you understand.
Through the hours that I held you Before the light did leave 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 time of need.
And the power of your essence Would always be with me.
I snipped the hair from around your heart That beat 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 a part of you Old dog in a locket.
That lays next to my heart I will always love you.
Even though we had to part.
