| MAY I GO May I go now? Do 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 living 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 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 love 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. Susan A. Jackson |
| OLD DOG IN A LOCKET 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 all my fears. I snipped the hair from around your back To bring me strength in time of need And the power in your essence Would always be with me. I snipped the hair from around your heart That beat in time with mine So I'd know your love would find me At some distant time. And so your life slipped out of mine On a quiet winter day But I knew that a part of you Was always here to stay. Old dog in a locket. That lays next to my heart I will always love Even though we had to part. Author Unknown |
| DON'T GRIEVE TOO LONG Don't grieve too long for now I'm free I've followed the path God set for me I ran to him when I heard his call I swished my tail and left it all. I could not stay another day To bark, to love, to romp or play Games left unplayed must stay that way I found such peace, it made my day. My partings has left you with a void Please fill it with remembered joy A friendship shared, your laugh, a kiss Oh yes, these things I too shall miss. Be not burdened with ties of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow My life's been full, you've given so much Your time, your love and gentle touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don't lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your head and share with me God wanted me, he set me free! |

| A GIFT OF A PET A pets love is one of God's greatest gifts Always there for you Their love never lifts. A pet is a friend to treasure and love, A gift from the heavens, A gift from above. When you look into your pet's trusting eyes, Something is there That no one can disguise. It's a look of complete love and something to admire, It makes your heart melt And sets your soul afire. When the day comes for you and him to part, Your pet's soul is still with you, He is still in your heart. And at the Bridge he does what he used to, Running, playing, jumping And waiting for you. And when you do enter heaven forever, You find your still loving pet And cross the Rainbow Bridge together. Author Unknown |
