We miss you and love you Spike
"Mom" Cindi and "Pal's" Jim & Pat
A 'Special Place'
You have a special place Dear Lord
that I know you'll always keep
A special place reserved for dogs
when they quietly fall asleep
With large and airy kennels
and a yard for hiding bones
With maybe a little babbling creek
that chatters over stones.
With wide green fields and flowers
for those who never knew
about running freely under
Your sky of perfect blue.
Lord, I know You keep this Special Place
And so to You I pray,
For one very Special little Poodle
Who quietly died today
He was full of strength and love
and so very, very wise.
The puppy look he once had
Had long since left his eyes.
He is dearly missed my Lord
This very good friend of mine.
He went to join his friend Max
To Your land that is Divine
So, speak to Spike so softly please
And give him a warm hello.
He's a Special gift to You Dear Lord
From Cindi, who loved him so.
