((reading this kinda makes me cry))

I never went away (from the ghost dog)
I stood by your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that ou were crying,
you found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly,
as you brushed away a tear.
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea.
You were thinking of the many times
your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today,
Your arms were getting sore,
I longed to take your parcels,
I wished I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today,
you tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you,
that I'm not lying there.
It's possible for me to be
so near you everyday,
to say to you with certainty,
"I never went away."
I walked with you towards the house,
you fumbled with the key.
I gently put my paw on you,
I smiled and said, "It's me!"
You looked so very tired,
as you sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know,
that I was standing there.
You sat there very quietly,
then smiled, I think you knew,
in the stillness of the evening,
I was very close to you.
The day is over...
I smiled and watched you yawning,
I said, "Good night, God bless,
I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to great you,
and we'll stand side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see,
be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.
