I had a puppy long ago,
Her memories remain,
Of life and love and tenderness,
I shall recall her name.
But time has passed and she has gone,
No one can bring her back,
She's left me joyous memories,
But there's no turning back.
I have a new protector now,
She shines as bright as gold,
She's not the one I loved before,
But sweet and bright and bold.
She has some catching up to do,
For she is yet so young,
And life is still so new to her;
Our time has just begun.
