Megan, let me tell you about our life together
You were our companion, best friend, and our seventh Irish Setter
From North Carolina, we brought you home to NY, and Koenig Road
A beautiful little puppy, you were only eight weeks old
It’s really hard to believe, that was eleven years ago
We came to love you, more than you could ever know
You were an old, gentle soul, like you had been here before
You would come to understand our every word, and so much more
Not sure if we can find the words to truly express what we need to say
Megan girl, we loved you from that very first day
How many times did you hear us say “you are the best“
Whispered in your ear once more as you were laid to rest
A last time to hug you, as we placed kisses upon your face
You’ve now crossed over “THE RAINBOW BRIDGE,” to a better place
We won’t be there, so look down at us from above
Through the rays of the sun, we will feel your love
Today was the hardest thing we ever had to do
We cried, and felt the pain, as we said our final goodbye to you
All our other Irish girls will be there, to welcome you home
No more pain, the cancer gone, a new land to roam
Yes, you have been made young again, and now cancer free
With the wind in your face, run the valleys, and hills with your sister Cree
We will remember Glimmerglass State Park, that was a favorite place
Or the “ back twenty” up our hill, the two of you would race
And oh how we loved to watch you run
Or to lay upon the grass, as you felt the warmth of the sun
In your very first year, a therapy dog you became
Visits to the hospital, the schools, where they all knew your name
There wasn’t a person, or a little kid that you didn’t love
With unseen wings, you were our special angel, sent from above
Oh, we made so many great memories over those eleven years
Is it without wonder as we write, our eyes fill with tears
And yes, we will miss you little girl, every single day
We will miss our game of “ hide and seek” that you loved to play
And we will remember when we’d come home to open the door
Too old and weak to rise up, with a pounding tail, music upon the floor
Over these years, we would grow older together
It was your zest, and love for life, that helped, to make us better
God said he would give us a dog on earth, in the image of his own
You served us with love, a job well done, so he called you home
And, we found you a nice place; it’s your forever to be
Laid to rest, below the shade, of a nearby tree
Your time on this earth has sadly come to an end
We promise to see each other again, our trusted best friend
Oh we will miss you Meggie, I know you will wait for Debbie and me.
In heaven, together once more, for all eternity.
