Rainbows Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbows bridge. When an animal dies
that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbows Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and
play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are
warm and confortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those
who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them
in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except
for one small thing, they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be
left behind.
They run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks
into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly
he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying
him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend
finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head,
and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your
life, but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.

To My Mama
When I hear you crying softly in the middle of the night, I want to tell you
I'm ok, and everything's alright. I didn't want to leave so soon, I barely got
to grow, but once my job on earth was done I really had to go.
I don't want you to be sad for me cause I'm in a real nice place, and anytime
I want to I can gaze upon your frace. In fact I'm feeling right at home, someone's
always yelling no!
Tell Vera and Eric to listen to the wind, cause when the moon is full they'll
hear the cry of their old friend. Please give them a special hug from me. I sometimes
miss those carefree days that came so easily.
I know what your doing, mom and it really makes me proud, I get so darn excited
that I howl right out loud. Your plan to save the timber wolf and all his family
too, will leave a shining legacy of the life I shared with you. Now all of you
get ready to share a family hug. When you think of me - smile.

I'm Still Here
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'm 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's 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'll rush across to greet you and we'll 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.

Memories
Mkwa they say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true. I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love
alone could have saved you, you never would have died
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you held a
place no one could ever fill. If tears could build a stairway, and heartache make
a lane, I'd walk the path to heaven, and bring you back again. Our family chain
is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain
will link again.
