No longer in this world,
Will you groan at the sound of the alarm clock and
Wait patiently by the door to go out in the morning.
No longer in this world,
Will you shiver and chatter your teeth on cold days
Hiding under the covers to stay warm.
No longer in this world,
Will you sing for your breakfast or dinner
No longer in this world,
Will you do the happy dance, waiting at the gate,
Happy to see me on my return home.
No longer in this world,
Will put your nose on my bed as if asking permission
To warm my feet at night,
knowing well you’d end up there
Even if I said no.
But in the next world,
You’ll dance with joy at our reunion,
wagging your tail and happily giving me kisses.
In a world where there are no alarm clocks or cold
mornings.
In a world where, we can eat all the waffles we can stand
without having to worry about gaining weight.
In a world where, we can roam the fields together,
sniffing daisies and chasing butterflies.
We'll never have to worry about the rain.
and skunks don't stink...
In a world where, at the end of the day,
you’ll always be welcome
To keep my feet warm,
And
We’ll never have to be apart.
(Gregg White)
