For My Dear Axel
Today I say good bye to my dear friend
Many hours as my pillow did he spend
Listening to my woes
As only he knows
With those wise old eyes
There was never a surprise
It is hard to explain
It will never be the same
Though I am content in knowing
That his soul is still glowing
With unselfish desire
He never did tire
He aimed to please me
And anyone he did see
With his warm wet kiss
He never did miss
He roams free up above
Showering us with love
Reunited with his friends
This message he sends
Do not cry, do not weep
As forever you keep
Memories of me
Waiting by the tree
