I SHALL STAY:

When I was & so alone, you came & took me home,

To me you petted, would talk, & take me for walks,

You stroked my old head & you gave me a soft bed,

You gave me my name & removed my solitary pain,

You cared & I loved you, together we were ever true,

You got so old & so did I, us of rusty limbs & milky eyes,

Then God came & took you away, I was told to sit & stay,

Now you´re gone, I´m all alone, without you I´ve no home,

Nothing will ever be the same; until I hear you call my name,

And here upon your tomb I´ll lie, until it´s time for me to die.
