Touch me with your voice as a
puppy young and new,
And let me know my presence is what is
pleasing you.
Touch me with your spirit, for
God sent me here to you, To teach you of
that precious bond
known by the choicest few.
Touch me with your hands as I
grow tall and strong,
I need you as my mentor through
out my whole life long.
Touch me with your lips, and
brush them softly on my brow,
Please kiss away the fears that I am
feeling now.
Touch me with your eyes as I
become full grown,
To validate unspoken love that we
have always known.
Touch me with your heart as our
bond keeps growing stronger
And words need not be used in our
language any longer.
Touch me with your breath, so
soft and warm upon my face,
As I try to bring you comfort in life's
never ending race.
Touch me with your love when
my muzzle turns to gray,
I live my life to please you, each and
every single day.
Touch me with your scent when
age has dimmed my sight,
To reassure me always that you will be
my light.
Touch me with your face when
your tears are meant for me,
So I may bear your pain and let, your
heart be free.
Touch me with remembrance when
I have traveled on,
And I will hold your heart in mine
forever when I'm gone.
