"They Gain Their Wings"

Shelties do not die,

they only gain their wings and fly.

They will play again I pray,

in those green fields far away.

Past the gaits of pearly white,

with other loved ones gone from our sight.

We will see them once again

at a place called Rainbows end,

with a wag of a tail and a jump in the air,

we will once again become a pair.

Don't be sad this day my friend,

just look for the bridge called Rainbows end,

and remember, "Shelties do not die,

they gain their wings and learn to fly".
