When All Is Said and Done
when all is said and done,
the light still goes out
and i am alone with these things
with memories of a Great Dog
who died when still just a pup
i will remember always how he looked
upon me before disease stole his eyes
because he was born deaf
you'd never know because he always followed close
and he watched me with all his being
before disease stole his eyes
when all is said and done
and a new day is on the rise
i will remember this Great
White Dog with crystal blue eyes
and how he never heard me call his name
but I never had to call him twice . . .
how he never heard me tell him i loved him
yet he loved back triple-fold in his response to me
when all is said and done, i never reached out like
that before
and no human ever touched me like him
in places of my heart i never thought existed
before disease stole his eyes
i was the world he saw and loved
and when they closed forever
so my forever was closed
no human ever touched me like that
no wonder God wanted him Back . . .
