    in Remembrance

    Rest in peace sweet baby. I have no other words I can put down, it is just so, so sad. :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.

    Because of the "failure" I went to bed early two nights, but the worse thing is I moved everything in the garage and vacuumed the whole frigging garage yesterday! :blink: Don't ever let it happen again, I'm too old to do that kind of stuff. :wacko:

     

    Thank you for getting us back online Jeff, I couldn't take another day like that. :D

    New Arrivals At The Bridge

    Three more angels have reached the Rainbow Bridge :angelwings:angelwings:angelwings

     

    The Rainbow Bridge

    inspired by a Norse legend

     

    By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,

    Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.

    Where the friends of man and woman do run,

    When their time on earth is over and done.

     

    For here, between this world and the next,

    Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.

    On this golden land, they wait and they play,

    Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

     

    No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,

    For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.

    Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,

    Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

     

    They romp through the grass, without even a care,

    Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.

    All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,

    Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

     

    For just at that instant, their eyes have met;

    Together again, both person and pet.

    So they run to each other, these friends from long past,

    The time of their parting is over at last.

     

    The sadness they felt while they were apart,

    Has turned into joy once more in each heart.

    They embrace with a love that will last forever,

    And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
