You truly were an angel
sent from God in heaven above.
Your shocking death just broke the hearts of everyone you loved.
When I found out that you had died
I thought that they were wrong.
You were so alive - and then
just like that, you were gone.
A flame blown out in seconds,
Confirming our worst fears -
A light that shines no more on earth
for which we shed many tears.
But still you are my beacon
And I need you right now.
You hear all the prayers I say
Because they are answered somehow.
I wish that you could be here,
But in a way you are.
so I know you can't be far.
Old dog in a locket That lies next to my heart.
I will always love you As I did right from the start.
You were right beside me Through the darkest of my days.
It was your kind and gentle nature That made me want to stay.
Now I hold you in my arms Your breath still warm against my hand.
Our hearts still beat together And I wonder if you understand.
Through the hours that I held you Before the light did leave your soul.
I knew a way to keep you Forever in my hold.
I snipped the hair from around your eyes So I would always see.
The beauty that surrounds me Even in times of need.
I snipped the hair from around your ears So I would always hear.
Music in the distance To quiet any fears.
I snipped the hair from across your back.
To bring me strength in time of need.
And the power of your essence Would always be with me.
I snipped the hair from around your heart That beat in time with mine.
So I would know that love would find me At some distant time.
And so, your life slipped out of mine On a quiet spring like day.
But I knew that a part of you Old dog in a locket.
That lays next to my heart I will always love you.
Even though we had to part.
If it should be that I grow frail and weak, and pain should keep me from my sleep, Then you will do what must be done, for this - the last battle - can't be won. You will be sad I understand, but don't let grief then stay your hand, For on this day, more than the rest, your love and friendship must stand the test. We have had so many happy years, you wouldn't want me to suffer so. When the time comes, please, let me go. Take me to where my needs they'll tend, only, stay with me till the end. And hold me firm and speak to me, until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree, it is a kindness you do to me. Although my tail its last has waved, from pain and suffering I have been saved. Don't grieve that it must be you, who has to decide this thing to do. We've been so close - we two - these years, don't let your heart hold any tears. God bless Angel till you all meet again xxx
I feel his presence near,
He's always here to listen,
And guide me through my fears.
He's a very special angel,
One God chose just for me,
He was once my Dog here on earth,
But that wasn't long to be.
God called him home one night,
My fear and rage did see ,
If He were a loving God,
Why take my Dog from me.
But in time I saw the plan,
He unveiled for me to see,
He had taken my Dog away,
But He gave him back to me.
There was only one thing different,
About this wondrous thing,
He just traded his faded collar and lead,
For a halo and snow white wings.
I live among God's creatures now, in the Heavens of your mind.
So do not grieve for me, my friend, as I am with my kind.
My collar is a rainbow's hue, my leash a shooting star.
My boundaries are the Milky Way where I sparkle from afar.
So when your life on earth is spent, and you stand at Heavens gate. Have no fear of loneliness, for here, you know I wait.
So sorry to hear of your sad loss I know what its like to loose your best friend after such a long time, you will never forget her as she will always be in your hearts and in your thoughts. love Oscar & Lynn x
Dear sweet Mini we are so sad to hear you had to leave.
“Never Say Goodbye" Hayley Westenra
If I could take this moment forever
Turn the pages of my mind
To another place and time
We would never say goodbye
If I could find the words I would speak them
Then I wouldn't be tongue-tied
When I looked into your eyes
We would never say goodbye
If I could stop the moon ever rising
Day would not become the night
Wouldn't feel this cold inside
And we'd never say goodbye
I wish that our dreams were frozen
Then our hearts would not be broken
When we let each other go...
If I could steal this moment forever
Paint a picture-perfect smile
So our story stayed alive
We would never say goodbye xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx So sorry for the sad loss of your beautiful girl, may the many treasured happy memories of her bring you some comfort at this very sad time.My thoughts & sympathy are with you. God bless & run free Mini beautiful sweet angel xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
