By the edge of the woods, at the foot of a hill, is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman run, when their time on earth is over and done.

No more do they suffer in pain or in sadness, here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without even a care, until one day they stop, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back, then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met, together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other these friends from long past, the time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart, has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever, and then, side-by-side, they cross over…… together.

Rest in Peace little guy.
