Verse 1

Before the wedding bells, a Lab was by my side

Then came a golden friend, where happiness could hide

Two alpha girls found love, though battles they would wage

But every single one turned a beautiful new page

My Labrador gave birth, to eleven little lives

Though sorrow came too soon, her spirit still survives

Each golden lived long years, with spirits strong and true

And Zena leaves her paw prints, a love that shines anew

Chorus

Oh, Marshal, Jess, and Brie, sweet Sadie, Dolly, Pete

And twenty purring cats, our family complete

Through fourteen years and more, to twenty-one we've known

The endless love you gave, a seed that you have sown

Each paw print on my heart, a treasure I will keep

While golden memories flow, in slumber soft and deep

Verse 2

The cats all left their mark, unique in every way

One who never left my side, I think of her each day

Now a Russian Blue, from a shelter, small and free

Still part kitten, bright, a joy for all to see

And my amazing Golden, knew before I could tell

When an accident had struck, she cried, my husband fell

She reads my very mind, knows when I'm feeling low

The most amazing dog, a love that helps me grow

Chorus

Oh, Marshal, Jess, and Brie, sweet Sadie, Dolly, Pete

And twenty purring cats, our family complete

Through fourteen years and more, to twenty-one we've known

The endless love you gave, a seed that you have sown

Each paw print on my heart, a treasure I will keep

While golden memories flow, in slumber soft and deep

Verse 3

A comfort I have found, when human words can fail,

A silent understanding, across life's every trail.

I truly believe you're gifts, from God's own tender hand,

More than just companions, you help me understand.

Though future paws may walk, and new breeds come to stay,

Your spirits live within me, lighting up my way.

Each cherished soul remembered, a part of who I am,

My precious, chosen blessings, a loving, gentle lamb.

Bridge

I loved you all so much, dear souls, my cherished friends

You were not replaced, our happy home still extends

With more to share my heart, a family to embrace

I truly believe you're gifts, from God's amazing grace

And I am certain, sweet ones, I will see you all again

Across the Rainbow Bridge, where joy will have no end

Instrumental - cello, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Marshal, Jess, and Brie, sweet Sadie, Dolly, Pete

And twenty purring cats, our family complete

Through fourteen years and more, to twenty-one we've known

The endless love you gave, a seed that you have sown

Each paw print on my heart, a treasure I will keep

While golden memories flow, in slumber soft and deep

Outro - piano fade

Now waiting at the Bridge, in fields of green they play

My precious chosen ones, until that perfect day

Sent from God above, a comfort pure and true

Sleeping peacefully, I'll dream of all of you.
