Even though they've gone, our friends remain in our hearts forever. This page is a dedication to the ones me and my family have lost over the years, a place to remember the good times, and the tough times. For they gave us so many memories its hard to capture them in one moment.

"When tomorrow starts
without me, and I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry, though I know your heart aches so But remember it was for the best... It was my time to go. I know how much you love me... As much as I love you. And each time you're thinking of me, I know you'll miss me too. When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart." "Your favorite chair
is vacant now... No eager purrs to greet me. No softly padded paws to run Ecstatically to meet me. No coaxing rubs nor plaintive cry Will say it's time for feeding. I've put away your bowl, and all the things You won't be needing; But I will miss you little friend, For I could never measure The happiness you brought me, The comfort and the pleasure. And since God put you here to share In earthly joy and sorrow; I'm sure there'll be a place for you In Heaven's bright tomorrow!" |
"By the edge of a woods,
at the foot of a hill, Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still. Where the friends of man and woman do run, when their time on earth is over and done. For here, between this world and the next, Is a place where beloved creatures find rest. On this golden land, they wait and they play, Til The Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day. No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness. Their limbs are restored, their health renewed. Their bodies have healed with strength imbued. They trot through the grass without even a care, Til one day they whinny and sniff at the air. All ears prick forward, eyes sharp and alert. Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the herd. For just at that second, there's no room for remorse. As they see each other... one person...one horse. So they run to each other, these friends from long past The time of their parting is over at last. The sadness they felt while they were apart Has turned to joy once more in each heart. They nuzzle with a love that will last forever. And then, side-by-side, they cross over...together." |
