becka Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 I stood beside you bed last night I came to have a peek 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 your tea You were thinking of the many times Your hand 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 though That I'm not lying there I walked with you toward 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 As you rested in the chair I tried 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 quietly Then you smiled, I think you knew In the stillness of that evening I was very close to you The day is over....Now I smile and watch you yawning And say "Good night, 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 And then come to be with me. (I do now know who to credit this but I thought it was absolutely beautiful) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madeara Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 what a way to start my morning, I love these poems, but i am such a emotional mess when I read them. All it takes is the first line and the lump in my throat starts and then the tears. Quote "To err is human, to forgive, canine" Audrey, Nova, Cosmo and Holden in NY - Darius and Asia you are both irreplaceable and will be forever in my heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hilda Forister for her dog Bool. Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 That poem could not have moved me tonight more. I just lost my black greyhound Bool to kidney cancer & my heart is just breaking...but this poem let me know that his spirit is still in my heart & soul. I have always believed that our loved ones stayed with us for a while after they died. And now I am convinced even more. Whoever wrote that poem, I want to thank them. It really has helped me tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
