It's been a year since we had to let you go Gone are the days of you trotting on our tow It's taken a while to write you this song It's been hard knowing you've been gone this long. Our Irish, Schnauzer-looking, Jack Russel-Westie, You stole our hearts, ate from our hands or snatched when you [...]

Tears in the Rain
Sleep child, sleep, and weep no more Open your eyes and take my hand, Take a breath and I’ll be sure to guide you through to the other land. Calm dear, calm, there’s no need for fear here And there’s no need for tears. Step across the threshold now And grasp your eyes to [...]
