OUR BELOVED KRISTA

Sparkling eyes and a beautiful face, she's the wonderful pet we adored,
After 7 whole years of devotion and love we couldn't have asked for more,
But the angels came calling one afternoon and they took our dear Krista away,
No-one knew this would happen; it's just so unfair cos she looked pretty healthy today.

All of a sudden she couldn't stand; her poor legs couldn't take her weight,
As we ran to support her we held our breath and prayed that it wasn't too late.
But the damage was done and we knew it was time, to let go of our darling friend,
After kisses and cuddles and tears galore, we knew she was close to the end.

Heaven opened those gates real wide that night, for our canine forever friend,
They took her too early we weren't prepared, and our hearts will never mend.
Now our home is so empty and we try to cope, no welcome awaits at the door,
No thundering sound running down the stairs as she slides on the wooden floor.

Only silence awaits us now Krista has gone, she's that twinkling star in the sky,
We are trying to make some sense of it all, but all we can do is cry.
Now our beautiful girl has gone for good to that rainbow bridge above,
And we know she is happy and healthy too, cos she knows just how much she was loved.

So we'll say goodnight and sleep sound darling friend,
This is just your beginning; it's not really the end,
Cos when we arrive at those pearly gates,
That's where our beloved Krista awaits.
