Toby:Goodbye For Now


Toby:Goodbye For Now

1998 by Bud Lemire



Toby my best friend, we lay you to sleep

I shall remember you, with memories I keep

Remembering the good times, my face wears a smile

You were my best friend, and for quite awhile



With a wag of your tail, and the games that we played

We went well together, what a good team we made

It won't be the same, without you by my side

But my feelings for you, I won't try to hide



My good friend of many years, I hope you're okay

Up there in Heaven, because you deserve it that way

Your suffering is over, my special little friend

You've gone to a "Better Place," with blessings I send



As your soul leaves your body, you'll take a special flight

Someone will guide you, as you move toward the Light

They'll take good care of you, this I know is true

There will be no more suffering, no matter what you do



No thunderstorms, no firecrackers, in this place where you'll be

So you have nothing to fear, I'm sure you will agree

Although you seem quite far away, I know you are near

Intertwined between both worlds, to those you hold dear

And with these final words, I'm sending all of my love

To the place where the spirits dwell, The heavenly place up above



About a month after Toby passed, I had a dream.

In it was Toby, he barked at me.

He was surrounded by a white light.

He came up to me and licked my face and I woke up.

It was his way of saying he made it to Heaven and is okay now.
