Benny's Journey

Benny, I can sense that you're weary;

Grown tired of pain and strife.

And I'm certain as stars in the Heavens-

That you've come to the crossroads of life.

Benny, you must know that I love you...

And this moment for me is so hard.

But I swear to let go of you gently;

As I offer this prayer up to God:

Dearest Lord, you will see that he's fragile;

But so charming if given a chance.

He will follow your steps like a shadow-

And he doesn't just walk... he will PRANCE!

He has never been much for playing;

Maybe a game of tag now and then.

Yet he will curl up next to you in a heartbeat-

And beg for table scraps, that’s my Ben-Ben!

This little Dog is as tough as they come;

but I know he is scared & feeling alone.

Please pick him up and hold him tight,
And let him know that I’m all right!
