Jim And Rover

His wife took their young son and daughter and left him but rover his dog true to him did stay But sadly the grand old black labrador with Jim lives only in memory today He buried his old friend in the backyard in the shade of the black wattle tree Your dog does remain as your loyal friend with this Jim would surely agree Old Rover had lived fourteen Summers till his heart did give out in the end Jim he found him dead in the backyard and wept at the loss of a friend When he came home from work in the evening Rover welcomed him at the gate And his black tail wagging in delight as if to say welcome home mate Rover to Jim was devoted the love of a dog it is true And Jim of the old dog took good care he felt it was only his due Since rover died he has not been out walking he used to walk the old dog every day A dog helps to keep some men active and with Jim it does seem this way His wife took their young son and daughter to live with her new lover man He thought they might grow old together but all things in life don't go to plan But Rover his faithful companion as his loyal friend did remain And Jim will tell you he will never have a friend like his old dog again The loss three years ago of his wife and his children to another man on Jim did prove a heavy cross But Rover his faithful old dog mate helped him to get over his loss Three months ago Rover died suddenly in his grave in the backyard his last remains lay Our happy times often become sad memories in life it is always this way.
