I miss him everyday. Now I understand people who talk about loss and
how life goes on but it is always "there". A day doesn't pass that
he doesn't come to my mind. I remember him with more joy then pain
after a year and am so thankful for being his doggie-Mom.
He loved his cookies ; )
I Stood By Your Bed Last Night
|
I stood by your bed
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 out 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 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 every day.
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 almost
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.

AND AWAY TO HEAVEN . . .
God will provide us with
everything we need to be happy in Heaven -- and if animals are necessary to
make us completely happy there, then you can be confident He will arrange for
them to be with us.
Some Bible scholars have pointed out that the Bible suggests that there may be animals in Heaven -- but without the aggressiveness and dangers that are part of their lives now. The prophet Isaiah saw God's coming Kingdom as a place of absolute peace, where even animals that had once been enemies will be friends. He wrote: "The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them." (Isaiah 11:6)
