This one is about my dog that died yesterday, I wrote this a few hours after.

I cried,
You were there
Sitting beside me
Trying to console me

I laughed
You were there
Jumping around me
And laughing with me

I was sick
You were there
Laying beside me
Looking after me

I woke up
You were there
Smiling at me
Saying good morning to me

I slept
You were there
Sleeping next to me
And protecting me

I went out
You were there
Walking next to me
Making sure no one hurt me

I needed a friend, you were there
I needed to talk, you were there
I needed to cry, you were there
I needed to laugh, you were there
You were always there
Like a best friend would be

You cried
I was there
Sitting with you
Trying to comfort you

You was ill
I was there
Right next to you
Feeding medicine to you

You slept
I was there
Looking at you
Trying not to wake you

You died
I was there
Crying for you
Shouting, screaming, 'wake up you!'

I cried
You weren't there
Sitting beside me
Trying to console me

You were there for him as he was there for you. A loving bond as strong as this, I believe, survives beyond death of the body. When my little cat "Magic" died, it felt as thought the magic went out of my life. But I can still feel her presence at times. I know that her spirit lives on.

I truly have compassion for you and your sense of loss.

Sending a loving, healing hug,

Earth Angel
