Do not cry for me, my master

Do not cry for me, my master
The sun is warm,
The grass is soft,
The water is cool and sweet

Do not cry for me, my master
I play with others,
The joy and strength of my youth restored

Do not cry for me, my master
Weep instead for the unloved, the unwanted,
For I was neither

Do not cry for me, my master
Remember the love that bonded us
And keep it in your heart

Do not cry for me, my master
Unless they are the tears of joy,
On the day we are reunited

Dog's love

Is a dog's love so intense because its life is so short?
Or is its life so short because its love is so intense?

Do not say goodbye

Do not say goodbye
Choose, instead, I love you
In this way, each parting is a promise
Of an eventual reunion
