Maiya

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

From the moment you arrived, a spirit wild and free,

A German Shepherd's heart, a joy for all to see.

You loved the open road, the trails where we would roam,

With every hike and camp, you truly found your home.

Chasing frisbees in the park, a ball thrown high and far,

A happy bark would greet us, shining like a star.

A simple stick could bring such happiness to you,

Those eager, joyful moments, fresh as morning dew.

Chorus

Oh, Maiya, our sweet girl, our loyal, faithful friend,

Twelve years and eight months of love that knew no end.

Your paw prints on our hearts, a story deeply spun,

Our time with you, dear Maiya, a truly golden run.

Verse 2

Our early morning walks, a ritual so dear,

To the park, our special place, dispelling every fear.

With sunbeams on your fur, and boundless energy,

Just you and I, dear Maiya, for all the world to see.

We miss the happy barks, a welcome at the door,

Now silent in our home, forevermore.

The empty space you left, a quiet, aching plea,

For one more gentle moment, just you and me.

Chorus

Oh, Maiya, our sweet girl, our loyal, faithful friend,

Twelve years and eight months of love that knew no end.

Your paw prints on our hearts, a story deeply spun,

Our time with you, dear Maiya, a truly golden run.

Verse 3

So clever and so bright, you learned with ease and grace,

The leader of your pack, you held your rightful place.

Your greatest joy, it seemed, was making hearts feel light,

And filling every moment with laughter, pure and bright.

You showed us how to live, with kindness and such cheer,

Dispelling all our worries, calming every fear.

And though you're out of sight, we know it's not the end,

Beyond the bridge you're waiting, our loyal, loving friend.

Chorus

Oh, Maiya, our sweet girl, our loyal, faithful friend,

Twelve years and eight months of love that knew no end.

Your paw prints on our hearts, a story deeply spun,

Our time with you, dear Maiya, a truly golden run.

Bridge

Maiya, we will miss you, and love you so much forever,

That eager sound of barks, a memory we'll treasure.

Our house fell silent when you left, a quiet, heavy sound,

But we'll see you again, on hallowed, sacred ground.

Across the Rainbow Bridge, with Baily and big brother Jäger,

Together once again, our love will never waver.

Instrumental - harmonica, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Maiya, our sweet girl, our loyal, faithful friend,

Twelve years and eight months of love that knew no end.

Your paw prints on our hearts, a story deeply spun,

Our time with you, dear Maiya, a truly golden run.

Outro

Now running free, Maiya, among the forest trees,

Cool mountain streams and meadows, carried on the breeze.

At peace among the wild, beneath the endless sky,

Our cherished Maiya, never truly saying goodbye.

Outro - guitar fade
