Why Do They Leave?
Why Do They Leave?
It doesn’t make any difference
their color or size
most dogs are very wise.
They know their limits
how to please, sometimes in fun
they really tease.
They join our lives, fill our heart
we never ever want to part.
Their lives are too short
for the joy they give, why do they leave
and we get to Live?
