Oliver

2011 - 2025

"Oliver's road" (written by russell nomer)
Soft pawprints on my heart,
Fourteen years of light.
Schnauzer eyes that knew my soul,
Held me through the night.
Run on, sweet Oliver,
Across the rainbow sky.
We held you close and loved you,
We let you say goodbye.
No more heavy breathing,
No more aching pain,
Only sun and fields now,
Waiting for your name.
You guarded little secrets,
Wagged away my fear.
A funny snort, a fearless heart,
A nudge to keep me near.
Run on, sweet Oliver,
Across the rainbow sky.
We held you close and loved you,
We let you say goodbye.
No more heavy breathing,
No more aching pain,
Only sun and fields now,
Waiting for your name.
We gave you gentle kindness,
A final, tender treat.
Hugged you through the dark until
You found your peaceful sleep.
Run on, sweet Oliver,
Across the rainbow sky.
Paula and I remember, The love that never dies.
In every quiet moment,
In every breeze that blows,
You’re chasing endless meadows,
Where the warmest sunlight glows.
Sleep now,
my best friend,
Until we meet again.
