Footprints In Our
Hearts
How could fifteen years go by so quickly
Since the day we brought you home
You cuddled up so close to me
so you wouldn't feel alone
Today, you went to doggie heaven
now you have so many friends
There's no one there to rule you now
and your dog days will never end
We see your footprints in the garden
We feel your presence everywhere
We look for you when we come home
But you are never there
We call your name but you don't hear us
Are you playing Hide and Seek??
Is it time to go out walking?
Or do you want your doggie treats?
The happiness that you gave us
We cannot count the ways
We can measure all the pleasures
That you gave us everyday
Your footprints in the garden
Will fade away and fall apart
But the footprints that you left us
Will live forever in our hearts
