Sam the German Shepherd

She watched me closely

Up and down constantly checking on me

I heard her pray

She was begging God to let me stay.

She slowly and gently rubbed my head and down my side

Again I watched her as she cried.

I hated to see her tears

I remember her with me through all of my fourteen years

I raised my head and looked at her

She said "it's ok Sam".

I drew my last breath

I know she loved me as much as I loved her.

We will see each other again one day.

She still misses me and I will faithfully wait

Until I see her coming my way

Through that Heavenly gate.
