It's Only For Today

She doesn't chase the ball anymore
but I remember when,
she entered our lives with love
and became our four legged friend.
So small she fit in the palm of our hands
most importantly our hearts,
winning us over with a lick to the chin
creating a bond right from the start.
Showing us love and devotion
unconditionally year after year
expecting nothing in return
a blessing from God
to our family here.
Though we have to say goodbye
it's only for today,
I know there's a place in heaven
for all of us you'll wait.
Meadows you'll roam for now
where others just like you
have touched the lives of humans
I believe this to be true.
God creates love in many forms
what a blessing you'll always be
never forgotten always remembered
a special part of our family.

In memory of my Haley
Her last day on this earth
You're never forgotten!
