Onyx's Story
Onyx’s presence was a comfort, from the morning rattle of his tags to his endearing habit of sprawling in the walkways, always making sure he was noticed. His heart was truly happiest during the quiet walks through the yard and the exuberant greetings he offered whenever you returned home. Now, we envision him freely chasing deer, lying peacefully in sun-drenched grass or playing in the snow, knowing he is no longer in pain, until the day you meet again at the rainbow bridge, a beloved Buddy.
— Remembered by Greg
Lyrics
Intro
Acoustic guitar, ukulele
Verse 1
The morning light would often start, with a gentle rattling sound
Your metal tags, a beat within my heart, as you trotted all around
You'd stretch yourself across the floor, in hallways, long and wide
We'd step with care to cross the door, with you right by our side.
Chorus
Oh, Onyx, my dear friend, a spirit wild and true
Fourteen wonderful years we'd spend, every moment bright with you
We celebrate the joy you brought, the love you freely gave
A cherished lesson you have taught, a memory we save.
Verse 2
Our simple walks throughout the yard, were moments we would share
No matter if the path was hard, you banished every care
And when we'd turn and walk back home, your greeting was a treat
A wagging tail, no longer roam, our journey felt complete.
Chorus
Oh, Onyx, my dear friend, a spirit wild and true
Fourteen wonderful years we'd spend, every moment bright with you
We celebrate the joy you brought, the love you freely gave
A cherished lesson you have taught, a memory we save.
Bridge
Go run and chase those deer, my Buddy, swift and free
No longer held by pain or worry, just pure felicity
I know you'll wait at Rainbow Bridge, until we meet again
Across that joyful, starlit ridge, until that moment then.
Instrumental
Mandolin solo, acoustic guitar
Final Chorus
Oh, Onyx, my dear friend, a spirit wild and true
Fourteen wonderful years we'd spend, every moment bright with you
We celebrate the joy you brought, the love you freely gave
A cherished lesson you have taught, a memory we save.
Outro
Now you're lying in the sunlit grass, so peaceful and so grand
Or playing in the snow, a joyous pass, across a winter land
Run free, sweet boy, your spirit bright, forever in our sight.
