I wrote this for a friend who's pet had just died


Together Forever

This side of heaven there is a very special place
A sanctuary for pets who’ve run their last race
They go here to await their master’s call
To be reunited with them in our Master’s hall
For when you go to heaven there you will find
Waiting for you the pet who left you behind

There they all are eager to hear your voice again
As soon as you see them its goodbye to all pain
It seems to have been a lifetime since you’ve parted
A very long wait while you were there broken hearted
But time for them has ceased to be it just stood still
It seems to be moments since they felt your thrill

They are all healthy and happy playing in the sun
For them in this haven the fun has just begun
All the hurts and the illnesses have faded far away
Their lives are filled with comfort, warmth and play
But when you appear they leave their new friends
So glad and so happy that their wait is at an end

They saw you coming to take them home finally
Never to be parted throughout all times eternity
And together you will walk though heavens door
You both will be there at soul’s ease for evermore
Peace will fill your soul and love will fill your eyes
And together you’ll be forever under heavens’ skies


Marsha




Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
Robert Browning

Marsha, I may have to cry AGAIN, this is so beautiful. I would like to ask your permission to put it on my website memorial to my cat, who I lost 2 years ago.

I've lost more than a few furry friends... so I know your friend will treasure this gift!
