My Dog Teddy Poem by VICTORIA GEORGE

I wish the reason could be known
To this mere mortal here
The secret must be God’s alone
One heaven cannot share

I loved my little canine friend
With all my life and soul
I know my heart will never mend
This loss will take it’s toll

Already it's been four long sad years
Since I saw my Teddy’s face
I must have shed a thousand tears
In those two hundred days

I loved him from the day we met
A real life fluffy toy
To me he wasn’t just a pet
He was my pride and my joy

To give our hearts, to love someone
Is to pave our way to grief
God snatched back my little one
Like some hard hearted thief

Those heavenly beings from above
They took him for their own
Please angels, wrap him in your love
And keep him safe and warm

Wherever now my Teddy lives
I pray the Lord to care
Please love and keep him safe and sound
Until I join him there
