Sweet Dreams Pretty Girl xxx

Warm light coming from far below,
twinkling, sparkling, is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
the place we know as "Rainbow Bridge".

My Missy's sleeping in Heaven's light,
tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be hers to keep,
as she slumbers in this night so deep.

Hearts on earth that miss her so,
take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for her in skies above,
bound eternally by a cord of love.

I Will Remember You ~ Always xxx

When we first met,
you were so tiny and so lonely,
but not for long . . .

You gave your little life to me;
And what a life it was!

After you were gone,
I felt so tiny and so lonely...

Until I realised that separation
was but a dream:

Beyond expression, is my love
for you; Words fail me;

For in my mind, all memories of
you are alive!
And in my heart your image
is deeply etched;

And for as long as I'm aware of myself,
I will remember you . . .

*~*~* MY PRECIOUS ANGEL *~*~*

You slipped away
We had to part
God eased your pain
But broke my heart

==♥== Cat Heaven ==♥==

The way to Cat Heaven,
is a field of sweet grass;
where crickets, and butterflies play.
A cat may be late getting to Heaven...
there is so much fun on the way!

But an angel will wait at the yellow front door
he’ll wait till your kitty comes home.
And when she arrives, he'll give her a kiss,
and some milk in a bowl of her own.

There are trees in Cat Heaven; trees made
for cats, trees growing so green, and so high.
But no one gets stuck in a tree anymore--
if a cat wants down she will fly!

And oh, all the kitty toys everywhere!
Thousands, upon thousands go by.
There are buttons and baubles, and
catnip - all afloat, in the Heavenly sky!

There are angels - of course, with soft angel laps,
where kitties can purr loud and strong.
The angels will rub kitty’s noses and ears,
and sing them a ‘Cat Heaven’ song.

And when cats are hungry, there is God's
kitchen counter, all covered with white kitty dishes.
Dishes full of; tuna and salmon, and mounds of
sardines, and wonderful little pink fishes.

The cats in ‘Cat Heaven’ are so loved,
and so spoiled,
God lets them all lie on his bed...
He walks in his garden, with a good black book…
and a kitty asleep on his head!

Then when a cat needs to, she may simply ponder,
and watch the blue world deep and wide....
She will watch the old house, where she once lived
and wandered, and the people who loved her inside.

All cats love their Heaven, they know the way there,
they know where the angel cats fly.
They will turn past the stars, and the moon and the sun.....
to curl up with God in the sky.

Letting go of you

I know I have to let you go.
How I will I do not know.
I know that it's your time to die.
What I don't know is how to say goodbye.
I'll miss you so much I don't know what to do.
I guess I'll just end this poem with a goodbye and an I love you.

A Rainy Day

Things are not as bad
As they now may seem to be
Your life will still go on
Even though it’s without me

These are not tears of sadness
On this day of rain
Please look at them as tears of joy
For I am now free of pain

You cannot know the freedom
Or the peace that I now feel
I hope this is some comfort
As you all now learn to deal

The battle now is over
And in many ways I’ve won
While you might think it is raining
I am warm amidst the sun

Summerlands

Just the other side of death's curtain are the Summerlands. All the pets who have died go through this curtain and though they can still watch us, we can't see them. Sometimes the curtain is thin in places and we catch a glimpse of our lost companion waiting on the other side. Sometimes the curtain twitches as they look through at us and we can feel them or feel a sudden draft as the curtain falls back into place. The Summerlands exist in the long, lazy late afternoons of an eternal golden summer of remembered childhood; the time when everything seems most alive and sweetest smelling. Our animals are young again and turned to perfect health. There is always space and time to play and love, places to be with others and places to be alone together. When our time comes, the curtain is lifted from our eyes and we can see the Summerlands ourselves. Waiting there for us are the animals and people we loved in life and we can see them clearly at last. The time has come for us to move away from the curtain and renew these interrupted friendships. Sometimes we can't help but take a peek through the curtain just to see how our own loved ones are doing before they come to join us.

Do you think?.............

Do you think that I am over it
Better than before
Maybe I've forgotten
Doesn't hurt me anymore?
♥
Do you think that I am doing fine
No tears are shed each day
Get up and just get going
Pain has all but gone away?
♥
Do you think that I am coping
Living life just as you do
If that's what you imagine...
You don't have a single clue.
♥
I cope, I cry, and I deny
I've learned how I must hide
Keep everything within me
Bottled up deep down inside.
♥
I can't be who I was before
I've changed I'm someone new
It happens when you have a loss
You would be different too.
♥
I'm so misunderstood each day
To tired to explain
Not over it, or better
Simply put... I'm not the same.
♥
And will never be because you left me.

***** NIGHT NIGHT ANGEL *****

To See You Once Again

Josette Kerns

I wish with all my heart I could see you once more,
I would use that moment and time to tell you how
Much love my heart holds for you and I shall never
Close that door.

Life each and every day with out you keeps going on
Even if some days I do not wish it I know I am being
Selfish and maybe even wrong, but to see you just once
More I so very much long.

I try to remember all the loving and happy times we
Were granted to enjoy and share, I try to understand
And not cry but to see you once more even only for a
moment to let you know just how very much I do care.

I know that day will eventually come when its my turn
To this world to say goodbye, But until then I shall hold
your love close to my heart, and sometimes I shall break
Down and cry, and I will still ask the question why did you
have to die?

Rainbows appear only on dreary, rainy days.
They beautify the world for a few brief moments.
These moments, however, can be spectacular.
YOU were our brief rainbow.

You entered our life
And stayed but a short while.
Nonetheless, the memories of those moments
When you blessed us with laughter and delight,
Joy and smiles,
Charm and beauty,
Gaiety and silliness,
Sunlight and moonbeams,
Giggles and love (ad infinitum)...
Made the deluge,
The tears of pain and anger,
Helplessness and fear,
Insanity and agony,
Sadness and heartbreak,
Emptiness and loneliness
Bearable

Rainbows, however brief,
Make the world a brighter, lovelier place.
How grateful we are that we had you,
Our brief rainbow.
