HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR

Our best friend closed his eyes last
night; his head was in our hands.
The Doctors said he was in pain,
And it was hard for him to stand.

The thoughts that scurried through
our head, as we cradled him in our arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And OH...his many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only hearts that are filled with tears
Remembering our joy-filled days.

But an Angel just appeared to us,
And said, "You should cry no more,
Heaven also loves your canine friends,
We’ve installed a 'doggy-door"!
