Its hard to smile when things go wrong, its easy to lose heart, Happiness seems so far away when the days are so long & sad but when the good times pass away so do the bad, Sadness fades away if you can grin & bear it when one day you will meet again Until then im sending you a big hug

Was it today; yesterday; a week; a month ago?
There are no days; there are no nights since my fur child died.
I reach to pet my furry friend who is no longer here.
My heart is broken; my arms are empty; how many tears I've cried.
I leave the house, into the lane we always walked together.
The rain is falling. I notice not. Just more tears on my face.
She used to lead me down the lane. Her spirit leads me still.
But we go a different way to a very strange and different place.
I stand before a rustic bridge I've never seen before.
I stop. I know I'm not to cross. But why, I want to know.
And then the rain suddenly stops. I look up into the clouds.
I look down. The bridge is gone and in its place is a rainbow.
I look across the Rainbow Bridge and see a joyful sight;
Thousands of healthy fur children playing with my beloved pet.
I want to run and love her, but I'm rooted to the spot.
She looks and wags her tail and I hear her bark, "Not yet."
And then her bark turns to a voice and I hear her say,
"You cared for me, you played with me and loved me to the end.
I'm healthy now, don't cry for me. I'll meet you here again.
Others need your love and care. I'm sending you a friend."
I rub my eyes and the rainbow is again a rustic bridge.
I send a prayer for that quick glimpse to the loving God above.
I hear a noise and glance back down. I can't believe my eyes.
Across the bridge, my darling pet sent a fur baby for me to love.
I pick up the furry bundle; hold her close to my dampened cheek.
She nuzzles my neck, kisses my tears. It's true love at first sight.
Not to replace the one who's gone; another who needs my love and care.
My eyes are drawn upward to see a Rainbow Bridge in radiating light.
One night I cried to Jesus
As I sat beneath the tree;
I looked into the open sky
And hoped He'd answer me.
"I'm lost dear Lord ...
I've travelled far but still I seem to roam;
Please light the way and lead me, Lord,
I need to get back home."
I told him of my burdens
And of the sadness in my heart;
That from His gracious love
I'd never felt so far apart.
"Why did you take my dog, Lord?
I cannot understand!
No longer can I touch his face
Or hold his tiny hand."
"I'm angry, Lord ... I'm missing him
I'm drowning in my sorrow;
Please help to heal my yesterday
and face each new tomorrow."
It was then I heard his gentle voice
And felt his presence near;
How I wanted so to hold him
As I cried another tear.
He said "Mommy, I'm an angel now,
My spirit will be free;
I'm an angel now in heaven,
So please don't cry for me."
"I was chosen by our Lord above
And now I'm in His care;
Whenever you need me,
Just look inside your heart; I promise I'll there."
"No one can ever take away
Our bond with one another;
For I'll always be your precious dog,
As you will always be my mother."
"So if you cannot find your way
Or the road to home seems far;
Just look up to the Heavens
And I'll be your guiding star."
He said, "Mommy, I'm an angel now,
My spirit will be free;
I'm an angel now in Heaven ...
There's no need to cry for me."
