For fourteen years you've been a mate
To thank you now, is far too late
You were always there from the very start
You passed away a piece of my heart
Knowing I'll never see you again
Has caused me sorrow and pain
I found you sleeping at peace on the lawn
A heart attack in the early mourn
Will you ever return in another form
To find another heart to warm
Always remember, I'll be here waiting
Loving, trusting, fearing and hating
Bad dog, get out, those words you'd ignore
Good dog, good boy, those words you'd adore
In a world of change, in a world of envy
You'll stay locked forever in my memory
And as dawn breaks, song from the east
And your soul ascends towards the sky
I utter these words in prayer for you
Goodbye. Rusky my friend. Goodbye.
