    The Spirit Of A Greyhound

    in Remembrance

    Posted

    :candle THE SPIRIT OF A GREYHOUND

     

    I was standing on a hillside

    In a field of blowing wheat,

    And the spirit of a Greyhound

    Was lying at my feet.

     

    He looked at me with kind dark eyes,

    Ancient wisdom shining through.

    In the essence of his being,

    I saw the love there too.

     

    His mind did lock upon my heart

    As I stood there on that day,

    And he told me of this story

    About a place so far away.

     

    As I stood upon that hillside

    In a field of blowing wheat,

    In a twinkling of a second

    His spirit left my feet.

     

    His tale did put my heart at ease,

    All my fears did fade away

    About what lay ahead of me

    On another distant day.

     

    "I live among God's creatures now

    In the heavens of your mind,

    So do not grieve for me, my friend

    As I am with my kind.

     

    My collar is a rainbow's hue,

    My leash is a shooting star.

    My boundaries are the Milky Way

    Where I sparkle from afar.

     

    There are no pens or kennels here

    For I am not confined,

    But I'm free to roam God's heavens

    Among the Greyhound kind.

     

    I nap the day on a snowy cloud

    Gentle breezes rocking me,

    And dream the dreams of earthlings,

    And how it used to be.

     

    The trees are full of liver treats,

    And tennis balls abound,

    And milkbones line the walkways

    Just waiting to be found.

     

    There even is a ring set up,

    The grass all lush and green;

    And everyone who gaits around

    Becomes the Best of breed.

     

    For we're all winners in this place;

    We have no faults, you see.

    And God passes out those ribbons

    To each one, even me.

     

    I drink from waters laced with gold,

    My world a beauty to behold;

    And wise old dogs do form my pride

    To amble at my very side.

     

    At night I sleep in angel's arms,

    Her wings protecting me,

    And moonbeams dance about us

    As stardust falls on thee.

     

    So when your life on earth is spent

    And you stand at Heaven's gate,

    Have no fear of loneliness--

    For here, you know, I wait.

    Jenn, I am so, so sorry. :grouphug

     

    I don't know what words to put here, words are so inadequate. If words and prayers could have helped, Tigger would still be with you. So many were praying for him, some times we just can't make any sense of why things happen. I am so sorry. :candle
