Treasured Friend

I lost a treasured friend today,

the little dog who used to lay

her gentle head upon my knee

and share her silent thoughts with me.

She'll come no longer to my call,

retrieve no more her favorite ball.

A voice far greater than my own

has called her to His golden throne.

And though my eyes are filled with tears,

I thank Him for the happy year

he let her spend down here with me,

and for her love and loyalty.
