HAPPY NINTH HEAVEN BIRTHDAY
28 April 2011

Happy Ninth Heaven Birthday
my beloved horse!

I know you will understand and forgive my sobbing
with all that wonderful love in your heart.

I know that God and Tigger and Daisy
and all your wonderful animal friends
and the special animally people
are giving you a wonderful day
and letting you know how loved you are
by everyone.

Thank you for the especially beautiful soft blue sky
and the extra-fluffy, peaceful, happy clouds
to celebrate your Heaven Birthday
and to comfort your earth mother
who longs for you.

Owl

How did the years pass so swiftly, my dear friend?

Sending hugs, to both of you!

Thank you, Karilea.  As I said in the title of the other poem I wrote Flicka today, they were very long years, yet it seems like yesterday.  The pain doesn't subside.

Diana...your wonderful and treasured pets gone I'm sure will welcome my Precious.  I understand even more, with this pending sadness, the missing of a beloved animal/friend.

Oh, yes, Martie.  The tears are flowing for your and Precious' pain at the thought of the parting.  Please tell Precious everything you know about them.  As they do for all animals and the special animally people, they will be there at the gates of Heaven to meet her, and to introduce her to all the animals and the special animally people, but it will be good for her to know about them already.  Flicka is a bay (brown with black mane and tail - and the brown is a beautiful rich golden brown); Tigger is a tabby and Daisy is a little white fluffy Maltese poodle.  They will all become best friends and they will give her a very special Entry in Heaven party and Precious will become your Guardian Angel and send you cloud and sky messages.  Flicka and Tigger and Daisy will teach her how.  

Hugs and tears, Martie.  I am so sorry.  Please keep in touch.

I am sure, dear Owl, Flicka had a great party and your words of love commuted no doubt into warm and colorful ribbons swaying in the breeze of paradise.

Beautiful and touching.

Love,
Margherita

One sweet day when you cross over the Rainbow Bridge, the Earth Mother will reunite with her blessed furbabies.

Such a warm feeling to your poetry in regards to your little family in Heaven

Thank you for your warm comforting words, EmmaRose.  I know about the Rainbow Bridge, but my darlings don't wait there all the time for me.  They only go out on to the Rainbow Bridge just before each animal or animally person arrives at the gates of Heaven to welcome them in and show them around and introduce them to everyone.  So, when I get there, they will be there for me too, but they will only go out just before I get there.  The rest of the time, they spend their time in Heaven.  Smiles through my tears and thank you again.

and what a joyous reunion that will be when Flicka, Tigger and Daisy meet you at the bridge Diana. I can see you now, your fingers tangled in Flicka's mane as you kiss his dear head.
my heart feels your heart.

Thank you Kate, for knowing my babies and me so very, very well.  Hugs.  You have made my tears flow again, but now they are ones of joy.  Yes, you are so right.  Please hold that picture in your heart, and when I die (which I hope won't be for many years), please relive it and remind my Pipster friends how joyous my babies, Flicka, Tigger and Daisy and all my other previous furbabies and I will be, to be together again.
