MY GIFT FROM GOD

                                                                                           

'SPECIAL SEVEN'

We knew we were Special,
Right from the start.
You loved us so dearly,
Deep down in your heart.

 Our leaving has hurt you, but try not to cry,
One fine day, we'll meet in the sky.
Kendal was waiting, so healthy and strong,
She was delighted, she'd waited so long.

We're all very happy, we miss you we do,
Us Seven together we'll all start anew.
Remember we Love you, just look to a star,
We're sometimes close by you, we'll never be far.

 In the bright golden sun.
We're Gods Special Angels,
We are second to none!

Rainbow Bridge (Death of a Pet)
Author: unknown
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of all its beautiful colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows,
hills and valleys with lush green grass.

 

         

   When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.
There is always food and water and warm spring weather.
The old and frail animals are young again.
Those who were sick, hurt or in pain are made whole again.
There is only one thing missing,

   

they are not with their special person who loved them so much on earth.
So each day they run and play until the day comes
when one suddenly stops playing and looks up!
The nose twitches! The ears are up!
The eyes are staring and this one runs from the group!
You have been seen and when you and your special friend meet,
you take him in your arms and hug him.

    

He licks and kisses your face again and again -
and you look once more into the eyes of your best friend and trusting
pet.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together never again to be apart.

Letter from your pet in heaven

To my dearest family some things I'd like to say. But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from the Bridge. Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
 

 

As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you...in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years,
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb; But together we can do it
by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too; That as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you. If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...

"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented...
that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along
I made somebody smile. God says: "If you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low; Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street
with me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind." "And when it's time for you to go...
from that body to be free. Remember you're not going...
you're coming here to me."

Dog

When God had made the earth and sky, the flowers and trees,
He then made all the animals and all the birds and bees.
And when His work was finished not one was quite the same
He said, I'll walk this earth of mine and give each one a name.
And so He travelled land and sea and everywhere He went,
A little creature followed Him, until his strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth and in the sky and sea,
The little creature said, Dear Lord, there's not one left for me.
The Father smiled and softly said, I've left you to the end.
I've turned my own name back to front
and called you, DOG, my friend.

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 parting 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 times 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!

 

SCRUFFY

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry  The way you did today,
Remembering how I'd lay my head  In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me, As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.


 But when tomorrow starts without me. Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name And petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready, In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love.
But, as I turned to heel away, A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought t

hat I would have to die.

 

 I had so much to live for, So many sits and downs to do,
It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you.
I thought about our lives together, I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had.
Remember how I'd nudge your hand, And poke you with my nose?
The Frisbee I would gladly chase, The bad guy, I'd "bark and hold".


 If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while,
I'd wag my tail and kiss you, Just so I could see you smile.
But, then I fully realized, That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories Will take the place of me.
And when I thought of treats and toys, I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did, My dog-heart filled with sorrow.

                                                                        

But then I walked through Heaven's gate, And felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me, From His beautiful golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity, And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past, But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last;
For you see, each day is the same day,
There's no longing for the past. Now you have been so faithful,
So trusting, loyal and true; Though there were times you did things,
You knew you shouldn't do. But good dogs are forgiven,
And now at last you're free; So won't you sit here by my side,
And wait right here with me?"

                                                                                              

So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me, I'm right

there, in your heart.
