Dedicated to Precious Dogs Everywhere

A dogs love is like no other,
Its equal can't be found.
Its lick can melt a heartache,
Unique bark - unique sound.

Tiny eyes can sense our feelings,
Tiny paws will say, "yes please."
A multitude of emotions,
Yet they show it with such ease.

They always welcome our return,
Or just a, "good morning" wag.
A love thats unconditional,
It doesn't need a tag.

Its only when you know that love,
That a little dog can give,
That you learn what love is all about,
That, you then really start to live.

Two paws are wrapped around me,
Yet with such a gentle touch.
That I look down and "thank them"
Thanking them for giving much.

Few words can convey,
The vastness of their skills.
But its unison of ownership,
And not a game of wills.

A bundle of boundless energy,
Regardless of their age.
A pup within an old mind,
Nothing counts at this stage.

Unlike us, who show our age,
They grow old, yet become again- young.
Where a lifetime is for living,
The continual life, thats just begun.

So thank you, our darling angel,
Thank you for WHO you are.
A glorious shining angel,
The very brightest star.

"Do Not Mourn My Passing"

Do not mourn my passing for if you could only see
By slipping all my earthly bonds, I'm young again and free.
By day I run the Heavenly fields, my body healthy and strong
At night I sleep at Angels' Feet, lulled by Celestial Song.
So do not mourn my passing, just close your eyes - you'll see
I'm once again that frisky pup, just as you remember me.

♥ TIME WILL EASE THE HURT ♥
♥ by Bruce B. Wilmer ♥

♥ The sadness of the present days ♥
♥ Is locked and set in time, ♥
♥ And meaning to the future ♥
♥ Is a slow and painful climb. ♥
♥ But all the feelings that are now ♥
♥ So vivid and so real ♥
♥ Can't hold their fresh intensity ♥
♥ As time begins to heal. ♥
♥ No wound so deep will ever go ♥
♥ Entirely away; ♥
♥ Yet every hurt becomes ♥
♥ A little less from day to day. ♥
♥ Nothing can erase the painful ♥
♥ Imprints on your mind; ♥
♥ But there are softer memories ♥
♥ That time will let you find. ♥
♥ Though your heart won't let the sadness ♥
♥ Simply slide away, ♥
♥ The echoes will diminish ♥
♥ Even though the memories stay. ♥

Distance may separate us
But my heart will never let you go,
For I carry a part of you with me always.
It keeps me going through the day.
It brings a smile to my face
and tears to my eyes.
It is a part of my dreams that I live for and cherish.
That part is my wish, my only one,
To see you again soon.
I know that wish will someday come true.
But for now, I will hold in my heart
The memory of you
And never let you go.

Right now I’m in a different place
And though we seem apart
I’m closer than I ever was
I’m there inside your heart
I’m with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I’m there to share the sunsets too
I’m with you every night.

Where is heaven

Where is Heaven?
Is it somewhere in outer space?
Where does my loved one now dwell?
In some far and distant place?

Heaven is all around you...
It's as close as the air and love that surround you.
Heaven is everywhere... it's not just in the skies,
It's a spiritual dimension that can't be seen
Through human eyes.

How do I know my loved one is safe?
How do I know they are well?
How do I know they made it to Heaven?
Is there any way I can tell?

Your loved one is well in Heaven because
They're surrounded by God's love and care,
And I can promise you they made it to Heaven,
Because an angel guided them there!

Is there any way I can tell them how
Much they meant (and still mean) to me?
I'm not sure how to contact them, do you?
Know what Heaven's address can be?

Just talk... and know that they hear you,
Because you'll never be truly apart.
And Heaven's address? Well that's simple...
Just send thoughts care of your heart.

~ I Felt an Angel ~
(Author unknown)

I felt an angel near today, though one I could not see
I felt an angel oh so close, sent to comfort me
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I felt an angel's kiss, soft upon my cheek
And oh, without a single word of caring did it speak
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I felt an angel's loving touch, soft upon my heart
And with that touch, I felt the pain and hurt within depart
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I felt an angel's tepid tears, fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry a new day would be mine
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I felt an angel's silken wings enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow, a strength sent from above
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I felt an angel oh so close, though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today, sent to comfort me.

WHY

Why is my heart torn in two
Why does my heart ache for you
Why do the tears constantly flow

WHY

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO

"How long will the pain last?" A broken-hearted mourner asked me.
"All the rest of your Life," I have to answer truthfully. We never quite forget.
No matter how many years pass, we remember. The loss of a loved one is like a major operation. Part of us is removed, and we have a scar, for the rest of our lives.
As years go by, we manage. There are things to do, things to care for, tasks that call for full attention. But the pain is still there, not far below the surface.
We see a dog or a cat that looks familiar, hear a voice that echoes, see a photograph we put away, see a landscape that once we saw together, and it seems as though a knife were in the wound again.
But not so painfully. And mixed with joy, too, because remembering a happy time is not all sorrow; It brings back some happiness with it, too.
How long will the pain last? "All the rest of your life."
But the thing to remember is that not only will the pain last, but the blessed memories as well.
Tears are proof of life; The more love, the more tears. If this be true, then how could we ever ask that the pain cease altogether? For then the memory of love would go with it.
The pain of grief is the price we pay for love.

~~ Don't Wait For Me Outside the Pearly Gates ~~
(by Jeanie E. Tam. Copyright 2009)

Don't wait for me outside the Pearly Gates,
though the field is golden and the wind is sweet.
Go on in, cos I might be late,
and say hello to my grannies, whom you may meet.

Think of it as a vacation,
where you'll run freely, and bounce, and binky,
with plushy grass to lay your head
and no prey or pain to make you weary.

If Fate will have it our way,
the years will come to pass.
With all my deeds fulfilled, as He has intended, I pray,
I'll be at my destination at last.

I will tread on the golden field,
the same field you once were wandering.
It is beautiful there, I'm sure.
But it's no use standing there waiting.

So don't wait for me outside the Pearly Gates,
though the wind is sweet and the field is golden.
Just come greet me at the opening gates
when I arrive, and walk with me into Heaven.
