To All Who Have Lost Their Furry Childern

[my_sibe_owns_me]

To my beloved owner,

there's some things I'd like to say.

But first of all, to let you know,

that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from the Bridge.

Here I dwell with God above.

Here there's no more tears of sadness.

Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy

just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I am with you

every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you

when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me

and He said, "I welcome you.

It's good to have you back again,

you were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family,

They'll be here later on."

God gave me a list of things,

that he wished for me to do.

And foremost on the list,

was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night

the day's chores put to flight,

God and I are closest to you...

in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth,

and all those loving years,

because you are only human,

they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry:

it does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers,

unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you

all that God has planned.

If I were to tell you,

you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain,

though my life on earth is o'er.

I'm closer to you now,

than I ever was before.

There are rocky roads ahead of you

and many hills to climb;

But together we can do it

by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy

and I'd like it for you too;

That as you give unto the world,

the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody

who's in sorrow and pain;

Then you can say to God at night...

"My day was not in vain."

And now I am contented...

that my life was worthwhile.

Knowing as I passed along

I made somebody smile.

God says: "If you meet somebody

who is sad and feeling low;

Just lend a hand to pick him up,

as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street

with me on your mind;

I'm walking in your footsteps

only half a step behind."

"And when it's time for you to go...

from that body to be free.

Remember you're not going...

you're coming here to me."

Thank you My Sibe,

You are very kind.

I'd gone to bed, couldn't sleep thinking about whether I'd done the right thing, came on here and found this.

I'm very grateful.

That was such a good poem msy-sibe-ownes-me. I do not feel so bad at having to say goodbye to our Lacy Angel.

I do hope she is happy there,

Oh how that sounds so true... thankyou for the poem it does seem to ease the guilt just a little... I was reading this thru tears streaming down my face remembering my little angel Annie

[my_sibe_owns_me]

I am glade this poem has helped so many people and brought so many people to tears because tears help the soul....

I cried the whole time I was posting the poem and thinking about my girl dasher..so I know how many of you feel...as if the world will never spin again, as if life will forever have a gap a missing link...with that said I am sure all of our 'furry kids' are running pain free and sharing their greatest memoirs of us with one another.

Rest in peace- to all those who have pasted...we look forward to the day when we can once again wraping our arms around you and tell you how much we love you..
