I know it was not easy,
for you to let him go,
but love like yours would not hold back,
your love to suffer so.
And so I took him quickly,
so he would never know,
a lengthy time of darkness,
that would distress him so.
I left his body here awhile,
so you could have some time,
to be prepared to let him go,
he was already Mine.
I bid him come while happy,
with joyous plans ahead,
and laughter in his face and heart,
and not one thought of dread.
You have the most to suffer,
your loneliness to bear,
but know that he is safe with Me,
within My loving care.
And never doubt My love for you,
I know you wonder why,
just know My strength will be your joy,
My love will never die.
I bore my son's own suffering,
and I will bear yours too,
give me your doubts and pain and hurt
and I will see you through.
When tomorrow starts without me And I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today; While thinking of the many things We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me... As much as I love you; And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name And took me by the hand. She said my place was ready In heaven far above; And that I'd have to leave behind, All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye; I didn't want to leave you here I was too young to die. I had so much to live for, So much yet to do; It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. I thought of you And how much you needed me Of all things I'll never do And things I'll never see. And when I thought of worldly things I would miss come tomorrow; I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But the angel bent and whispered A secret only I could hear She said that true love never dies That I would still be near. So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart... For every time you think of me, I'm right there ... in your heart. xxxxxxxxxxxxxfresh roses sweetheart xxxxxxxx
There’s not a day that passes,
That I don’t think of you,
Some little thing may happen,
And I stop a moment or two.
For that moment you’re back with me,
It’s like it used to be,
As if nothing ever happened,
And you’re still here with me.
Then reality will come back again,
And once again you’re gone,
If only that brief moment,
Could just on and on,
But, no, I know I have to wait,
For another one to come,
When I can spend another,
Moment with my beautiful one.
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 my 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 but 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 is is all right, for now
to say good-bye.
May I go now Don't you think the time is right? May I say good-bye to pain-filled days and endless lonely nights? I've lived my life and done my best, an example tried to be, So can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free? I didn't want to go at first. I fought with all my might! But something seems to draw me now to a warm and loving light. I want to go! I really do! It's difficult to stay. But I will try as best I can to live just one more day . To give you time to care for me and share your love and fears. I know you're sad and are afraid because I see your tears. I'll not be far, I promise that, and hope you'll always know that my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go. Thank you so for loving me. You know I loved you too. That's why it's hard to say good-bye and end this life with you. So hold me now, just one more time, and let me hear you say, because you care so much for me, you'll let me go today.
I have been fortunate enuf to have had a bulldog called Rager who lived for 13 yrs 1 mth and 13 days, a long life for a bulldog, but it was never long enuf for me so I know how you must miss him, my Roger has been gone for over 20 yrs and I still miss him, god bless Basil, keep on snuffling on m8, love to your owners who were fortunate enuf to have known and loved you xxxx
So so sorry for your loss Vine..its a dreadful time but hearts and minds are ever with you and so is Basil bless him! and you.! Memories never die and I feel certain there is a dogs heaven and although we ever miss them we never lose them... Love is eternal. Joan & Basie
