In Loving Memory

 " If tears would have kept you
You would still be here
If tears would bring you back
you would have been home yesterday."

  RAINBOW'S  BRIDGE

"May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless pain filled nights?
I didn't want to go
at first I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I promise that I'll not be far
and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close
where ever you may go.
Thankyou so for loving me
You know I loved you too.
So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say
Because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today."

  Special Friend

I lost a special friend today the kind you can't replace,
and looking at her empty bed I still can see her face.

I see the endless energy the sparkling puppy eyes'
Not the tired, fragile friend I had to bid goodbye.

I know she's in a special place our Lord has for such friends,
Where meadows, fields & flowers help make them strong again.

I remember how she'd run to me to play her favorite puppy game,
And how her ears would perk right up when she heard me call her name.

But as those precious years went by and we both aged and grew
I'd find her often slowing down but we had still much to do.

She did her guard dog duty well each time the doorbell rang,
Strangers surely couldn't see my gentle friend.

I've noticed in the recent times her ears were not as sharp
Where is that running ball of fur the years have shown their mark.

My Amy was a special dog I know she gave her best,
But as I looked deep into her eyes I knew it was time, for her to rest.

This special place our Lord has made. Health & strenght, wait for her there,
So with my very special friend I'm sending all my prayers.

Lend Me a Cavalier

I will lend to you for a while,

A Cavalier, God said,

For you to love him while he lives and 

mourn for him when he’s dead.

Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three.

But will you, 'till I call him back, take care 

of him for me. He'll bring his charms to gladden  

you and (should his stay be brief)  you'll always 

have his memories as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return. 

But there are lessons taught below  I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true 

And from the folk that crowd's life's land I have chosen you.

Now will you give him all your love Nor think the labour vain, 

Nor hate me when I come to take my

Cavalier  back again.

I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will 

be Done,"  For all the joys this Cavalier will 

bring, the risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness we'll love him while we may

And for the happiness we've known forever, grateful stay

But should you call him back much sooner than we've planned, 

We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.

If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve

In memory of him we loved, to help us while we grieve, 

When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife,

We'll have yet another Cavalier and love him 

all his life.

I Stood by Your Bed Last Night

I stood by your last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me"
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, " I never went away"
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over...I smile and watch you yawning
and say "goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning"
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.
