Always Near
A dog's small world is full of dreams,
Of full food bowls and scents unseen,
Of open fields and cosy chair,
And, most of all, you standing there.
And when the end is drawing near
And you are trying to stem your tears,
He licks your hand with happy sigh,
Content that you are standing by.
And when he reaches Heaven's Gate,
The Lord says, "Come." But he says, "Wait.
"I have a friend I love so dear
And I can feel her footsteps near."
Your lifetime's passed. You near God's throne.
One happy glance. You're not alone.
Your loving pet, so patient waits,
To pass with you through Heaven's Gates.
Beloved Pet...
I'm sorry about your loss.
Nothing is as pure
as the devoted and loving heart
of a beloved pet,
and I know how painful
it is to lose such
a loyal friend
and family member.
Only time will ease your grief,
but I hope you take comfort
in knowing that your loved one
is in a beautiful
and better place,
comforted by angels,
free of pain,
and home at last.
Beloved Pet...
