As we held you in our arms and surrounded you with light We knew there was no turning back on that dim and starless night You seemed in quite a hurry, barely gave us time to think One minute playing happily, the next right at the brink.
Your body had served it's purpose, warmed us to your wondrous breed There's now seventeen smiling Sammies in the home where you did lead You saw our parents pass over, and then the next generation start There was always room for just one more in your strong abounding heart.
For nearly fourteen years you served and shared with us our home But now you have much wider fields in which to romp and roam For the powers of natural remedies we give thanks to our Creator It kept you alert and very active "til you soared to a home much greater.
We had to bury your body Good Friday, that really made us ponder Why it had to be that special day you rose to the domain of yonder Was it just sheer coincidence, or that you were Master Of Our Tribe That they called you at that special time so with them you could reside.
We buried your body in your kennel, you only went there just to eat So, as usual when we go in there, you'll be 'beneath our feet' We know you have not left us, that you have only gone to mend We'll look forward to your visits, our dear, sweet faithful friend.
We know you'll be well-cherished, share you well the love and joy There'll be many spirits waiting to share the love of our Samoyed boy The stars will shine more brightly now your shining light is there Playing amongst the constellations whose names our Samoyeds bear.
Although we must get on with life, we love you deeply, Sabre dear we'll wait, we'll watch, we'll be alert 'til once again we feel you near And when we hear the deeper barks, feel like we've just been hit by bricks We'll know it's just you, dear old Sabre, up to your usual, loving tricks.
