~Your Pets In Heaven~

To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you.
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.
I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.
Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.
We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever.
You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.

♦♥• THE NEW DAWN •♥♦

(Author: Timothy R. Laurence)

In endless fields they leap they fly
Through sunny meadows; mountains high
No more an earthbound care have they
A new dawn breaks not end of day.

We knew them once these creatures fair
A memory now for those who shared
Their lives their hearts their love their home
So saddened now that we're alone.

But soon there comes to us a dream
A passing distant joyful scene
Where now our own pet's loving soul
Beside a friendless creature strolls.

Their new companions tell of when
They walked the earth without a friend
But now in company with our own
They've found a new and better home.

Before we know this dream is gone
We wake again but with this dawn
Our hearts are light for now at last
We know the reason why they passed.

It was for love they'd left our side
To be with those who when they died
Had left this earth afraid alone
Unquite souls who had no home.

Far better then for us to know
To those in need our friends did go
For having shared our love with them
They've left to share it now again.

In distant fields they leap they fly
And shower love on those who died
No more an earthbound care have they
A new dawn breaks not end of day.

♥ I asked God for a flower, He gave me a garden.
♥ I asked God for a tree, He gave me a forest.
♥ I asked God for a river, He gave me an ocean.
♥ I asked God for the world, He gave me you.
♥ My heart is lost to you, always and forever.

My Forever Friend

I know that it must be different,
now that I am no longer there.
I realize how much I was loved
and how all of you did care.
I know it will be hard at first
when you look around for me.
Expecting to find me in my bed
or beside my favorite tree.
Someday you will begin to see
although it'll take some time,
the happy times you shared with me,
the memories are yours and mine.
I'll remember you, my friends,
and how much you meant to me.
So please don't grieve and don't be sad,
it was just my time to leave.

Wise Men Say

•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~

Wise men talk of worlds beyond
Worlds beyond our eyes,
A wondrous place of love and peace
To which the spirit flies.
Wise men say we come again
To live another span,
That death is just a stepping stone
A pause within the plan.
Mystics say that many lives
Are needed to ensure,
A perfect understanding
Of God's eternal law.
Wise men say with smiling eyes
Our lives are but a dream,
A brief illusion clothed in flesh
A role within a scheme.
Wise men say that nothing dies
It only changes form,
That life goes on despite the myth
We perish in death's storm.
So when our loved ones pass away
Let hope replace our pain,
Have faith and trust that God ensures
We shall all meet again.

(Alan Pemberton)

I thought I saw you here today

We were so very close, we two
but I had to let you go
I hope that you can understand
it was because I loved you so.

No more pain, no aching limbs
no earthly ties that bind
No dimming eyes, no sleepless nights
you've left them all behind.

I lost you many months ago,
and gained a broken heart
Yet I feel you close to me
although we are apart.

Sometimes when I'm all alone,
I feel you by my side,
As if to try and comfort me,
through all the nights I've cried.

I thought I saw you here today,
out the corner of my eye,
Felt soft fur against my skin,
heard the faintest sigh.

So wait for me at Rainbow Bridge
Until we meet once more
then we will walk together again
through Heaven's open door...

SOLACE

(Written by Lisa Carmel Singer)

From the Silence of your pain, I heard my name
and on the wings of light I have come
to see the sadness in your eyes
that cry without tears. Can you see me, I am here.
I will always be near you,
to calm your shattered heart
and to make you smile at the memories.
Do you feel me, perhaps a soft brush of fur.
You ache to believe it's real
but you are afraid to hope
you brush away a strand of hair.
But it was I, whispering
I am only here for a moment.
The silver thread gently quivers
I will leave behind my love in a dream
When you awaken and without really knowing why
Your heart will know at last
That it is all right for now
to say goodbye.

Thinking of you. Love Mel. xxx

•♥• My Forever Pet •♥•

There's something missing in my home
I feel it day and night,
I know it will take time and strength
Before things feel quite right.

But just for now, I need to mourn
My heart -- it needs to mend,
Though some may say, "It's just a pet"
I know I've lost a friend.

You've brought such laughter to my home
And richness to my days,
A constant friend through joy or loss
With gentle, loving ways.

Companion, friend, and confidante
A friend I won't forget,
You'll live forever in my heart
My sweet, forever pet.

(Susanne Taylor)

•♥• It Wouldn't Be Heaven •♥•

I got to the gate of Heaven today, after we said goodbye,
I began to miss you terribly, because I heard you cry.

Suddenly there was an Angel, and she asked me to enter Heaven's gate,
I asked her if I could stay outside for someone who would be late.

I wouldn't make much noise, you see, I wouldn't bark or howl,
I'll only wait here patiently and play with my tennis ball.

The angel said I could stay right here and wait for you to come,
Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven if I went in alone.

So I'll wait right here, you take your time, but keep me in your heart,
Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven without you to warm my heart.
