will you forget me when im gone, or will you remember me and carry on
the life you gave sure was great, nothing lasts forever i'll face my fate
i once was young and full of spirit, but death always looms, and i was near it
i do not wish you to be sad, because i love you, mom and dad
just remember me as i once was, when i was a pup, covered in fuzz
the joy of life that we shared, i am gone now , but not scared
my journey now it has begun, ill remember you and all the fun
im always with you wherever you go, look to the sky its there i grow
there so much work that needs to be done, your an animal advocate your the one
who saved me when i was a pup, and it is you to which others look up
so do not dwell on feelings of dread, life doesnt stop because i am dead
i wish this of all of you, share your love for me, with those who are new
remember the time, when i was your pet, help those who need it and do not fret
i am your dog, and this is my wish, give them my leash, collar and dish
always remember me, never forget, the fun that we had, with every sunset
you are my hero, my friend and my savior, do this for me, i'll return the favor
i'll visit you often, if only in dreams, i see all the saddness,and hear the screams
you gave me a life,of which i can be proud, put up my picture, laugh out loud
i am your child, four legs and fur, you were my parent, of that i am sure
it is time for me to go now, please do not fret, the life that we shared, i have no regret
