bundled in your favorite rags
protected from the world to see,
as cautious as a newborn now,
i carry you to your rest to be.

my thoughts drift back to happier times
you filled our lives w/ joy.
i fight back tears of sorrow now,
my strength a weakened ploy.

you slipped away in quiet sleep
as peaceful as your air.
your loving nature’s replaced with now,
death’s lonely tranquil stare.

a large piece of our hearts' you took,
when since you slipped away.
at pictures now we can only look
at a happier time, in a happier day.

we’ll see you in some future time  
when the Good Lord calls us home,
across the rainbow bridge you’ll run
happy, well and whole….
