I STOOD BY YOUR BED
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 every day.
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.

IF IT SHOULD BE . . .
If it should be that I grow weak, and the pain should keep me from my sleep, then you must do what must be done, for this last battle cannot be won.
You will be sad, I understand, don't let your grief then stay your hand, for this day more than all the rest, your love for me must stand the test.
We've had so many happy years, what is to come can hold no fears, you'd not want me to suffer so, the time has come to let me go.
Take me where my need they'll tend, and please stay with me until the end, I know in time that you will see, the kindness that you have done for me. Although my tail its last has waved, from pain and suffering I've been saved.
Please do not grieve, it must be you who had this painful thing to do; we've been so close, we two, these years, don't let your heart hold back its tears.

Do not cry for me
Do not cry for me, my master
The sun is warm,
The grass is soft,
The water is cool and sweet
Do not cry for me, my master
I play with others,
The joy and strength of my youth restored
Do not cry for me, my master
Weep instead for the unloved, the unwanted,
For I was neither
Do not cry for me, my master
Remember the love that bonded us
And keep it in your heart
Do not cry for me, my master
Unless they are the tears of joy,
On the day we are reunited

Rainbow Bridge
(Author Unknown)
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to
someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are
meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can
run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and
sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who have 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 all run
and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks into the distance. His/her bright eyes are intent;
his/her eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly s/he begins to
run from the group, flying over the green grass, his/her legs
carrying him/her faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend
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 form your life but never absent
from your heart.
Then together you and your special pet cross the Rainbow Bridge.
