Scamp

Scamp was a puppy

A little yellow puppy

who bounced round the house

and barked at her name

She was so bonnie

She was a real cutie

She caused us such anguish

when God called her home.

Poor little puppy

Bundle of affection

was not strong enough

to fight the infection

The veterinarians healing

and powerful injection

Couldn’t stop God from taking

My little puppy home.

I mourned my little puppy

and missed her little footsteps

missed her squeaky barking

all around our home.

I hope there is a heaven

for little yellow puppies

who give mischievous affection

until God calls them home.
