Your
Master's calling, time to go
Your time with me is through
We'll take a moment to say goodbye
My Friend, from me to you
I see
your eyes, they're growing dim
Your movements now are slow
You look at me then look beyond
Your Master's calling, time to go
Please
thank your Master for this time
Although it seemed so short
He let us be together here
My grateful thanks report
Where
you're soon going, you'll feel young
Your body swift and strong
You'll be your Master's guardian
You'll be where you belong
There's
critters there for you to chase
Through fields wide and green
You'll play as if a puppy
And rest by cool, deep streams
Friend,
from our time together here
I know it to be true
The love your Master feels for me
Has been expressed through you
I know
that sometime down the road
My time here will be through
I pray we'll be together then
He is my Master too
So listen
for His signal when
He sends you out to wait
And listen for my footsteps
Please meet me at the Gate
I'll
kiss your head, you lick my face
Affection freely shown
Thanks old Friend for all you've been
Your Master's calling, time to go.
