The Day We Say Goodbye

by

Phil Pochurek

I wish that I were closer to God
So that someday I might know
The more loosely we hold on
To those dearest to our hearts
The easier it is when its time to let them go.
We get so use to our dogs and cats
Always being there for us
Rubbing against our legs and licking our faces
Giving us their trust
That we forget they’re not on our time.
We raise them with our children
When they’re born
And together we watch them grow.
Loving each other and learning together
All the things they need to know.
They fill all the holes in our busy lives
With their unconditional love
That we forget that they’re just on loan,
Sent from God to remind us of his love
And keep us company until we come home.
And when the day comes
That he calls them back
To be with Him by his side
Is the time that we must let them go,
And remember them always
With all of our hearts
And thank them for touching us
With their souls.
