To All My Dogs Currier

♥Shadow’s Song♥
(Audrey E. Nickel)

I'm not gone...not really.
I haven't gone away...I've only gotten bigger.
My eyes, so bright, now shine among the stars.
My voice sings with the wind in winter, as I leap
and dance among the treetops.
I stalk the blown leaves in autumn, and brush the
flowers gently in the spring.
I come to you in dreaming, on feet grown dreamtime soft,
and lay my cheek against yours, and whisper:
"Peace be with you."
Someday we will play again together, you and I, among the stars.
'Til then, fear not to love, for your love gave my life meaning.
And I return that love to you...a hundredfold..a thousandfold..
Forever.

WISHES
Copyright (2006) Kristin Sharer

We wish we could have told you,
in words you understand,
We wanted you to stay with us.
This wasn't what we planned.

We wish somehow to tell you,
how empty we now feel.
A part of us went with you,
a part that time can't heal.

We wish we had you back again,
to fill this empty space.
But one day we'll be together,
in a far, far better place.

♥Now you sit at Heaven's Gate
♥Waggin' your tail, you patiently wait
♥Until the time we meet again
♥When I have reached my journey's end.
♥Now I cried when you left that day
♥You weren't here to lick my tears away
♥Time will heal, my heart will mend
♥Tho’ you are missed...my beloved friend.
♥I have peace in knowing what lays in store
♥When I find myself at Heaven's door
♥My tears of joy shall fall that day
♥And you will lick my tears away.

LOVE FROM MEL. xxx

There must be a heaven
for the animal friends we love.
They are not human,
yet they bring out our own humanity ~
sometimes in ways that other people cannot.
They do not worry about fame or fortune ~
instead they bring our hearts nearer to the joy of simple things.
Each day they teach us little lessons
in trust and steadfast affection.
Whatever heaven may be,
there's surely a place in it
for friends as good as these.

♥ Unconditional Love ♥
(by Allison Chambers Coxsey)

A treasure to be cherished,
a gift from God above;
is the beauty of a friendship,
touched by unconditional love.
A love that asks no questions,
believes in all the best;
never doubting, ever trusting,
withstanding any test.
A love that weathers any storm,
and yet that love still stands;
through the very darkest hour,
it still reaches out a hand.
There in that hand the sweetest gift,
that you can give a friend;
a heart that cares, a love that shares,
that will be there till the end.
A treasure to be cherished,
a gift from God above;
is what I share with you my friend,
an unconditional love.

❁ OUR PATH NEVER ENDED ❁
(Author Unknown)

I walk in golden fields now,
my wondrous new place called home.
With flowers blooming everywhere,
on the path of our love I roam.
**********************************
Upon the doorstep of my life,
my journey reached its end.
My new home has an endless glow,
where heavenly rivers flow.
**********************************
With love I gather a sweet bouquet,
of flowers from the fields.
With love to you mommy,
whose joyfulness now yields.
**********************************
I am in a very special place,
where love will just increase.
A home that awaits you mom,
where we all find great peace.
**********************************
Right beyond sweet heaven's gate,
is a home beyond all dreams.
We walk in gardens filled with life
blessed with gentle crystal streams.
**********************************
Keep smiling like you always did,
when I walked into the room.
Joy fills this place where I wait,
Till your life with me resumes.
**********************************
Remembrances of our love you see,
like flowers scent a room.
Within our hearts, in memory,
our precious love shall bloom.

♥ ANOTHER LIT CANDLE ♥
(Author Unknown)

Our prayers are offered, our eyes wet with tears,
so sad when we hear this happening,
seems all of a sudden too many are passing.
We do what we can, but we aren’t the Great Maker.
He lends them to us, and they give us their love,
Its what they do best, it’s their gift from above.
Tonight, when you're grieving and missing him so,
just know you have friends,
some you don’t even know.
Our candles are burning,
to give him some light,
on his final last journey
as he goes home tonight.
Another lit candle to brighten his way,
another lit candle at the end of the day.
Our babies are family and try as we might,
seems nothing we say or do makes it feel alright.
Great Maker in Heaven, all angels and saints,
receive my dear baby, give him gladness and light.
Another lit candle to brighten his way,
another lit candle at the end of the day.
Our candles are burning
to give him some light,
on his final last journey,
as he goes home tonight.
AMEN

Sometimes.

Sometimes if I am very still, I can feel them
Not with my fingers that used to weave their way
through their fur...but with my heart.

Sometimes when I'm quiet, I can see them
Not with my eyes that used to shine
at the sight of their faces ~ But in those
special places nestled deep inside.

Sometimes when I'm high on the mountain,
I can hear them
Not with my ears that captured the happy
sounds they made
But from echoes in my memory.

And sometimes...
the lonely times, I feel a terrible kind of sorrow
Not in my mind that cried out in anguish when they left
But from a pain nurtured deep in my soul.

Sometimes....only sometimes...
that pain can be hard to bear. So I climb high on
the mountain, the cool wind in my hair
And remember how it once was, and feel
this fierce kind of joy.
Knowing that once upon a time for a little while...
I had it all. ~ Sometimes, it is enough.

♦♥• 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.

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.
