Lessons Learned

You took me in a little pup

and let me share your home

You taught me tricks, we played our games

and many miles we roamed

Those early days were filled with fear,

sleepless nights and crying

You taught me all my lessons well

except my master dying

You worked with me throughout the years

I know it was extremely trying

You taught me all my lessons well

except my master dying

The room is quiet, the body still

his family's grieving his death

And then his spirit whispered to me

"Rainbow Bridge" with his last breath

The stranger said, "Come on boy, it's all right"

but his eyes tell me he's lying

You taught me all my lessons well

except my master dying
