For those in a time of sorrow

Loss of an angel dog


I stood by your bed last night; I came to have a
peep.
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 the tea.
You were thinking of the many times, your hands
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, that I am not lying there.
I walked with you towards 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, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was
standing there.
It is possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went
away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think
you knew ... in the
stillness of that evening, I was very close to
you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in
the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the
brief divide,
I will rush across to greet you and we will 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 ... then come
home to be with me.
