Dear Nancy,
I am so sad for your great loss. {{{HUGS}}}
THE SPIRIT OF A DOG
I was standing on a hillside In a field of blowing wheat,
And the spirit of a dog, was lying at my feet.
He looked at me with kind dark eyes, ancient wisdom shining through,
In the essence of his being, I saw the love there too.
His mind did lock upon my heart, as I stood there on that day,
And he told me of this story, about a place so far away.
As I stood upon that hillside, in a field of blowing wheat,
In a twinkling of a second, His spirit led my feet.
His tale did put my heart at ease, all my fears did fade away
About what lay ahead of me, on another distant day.
"I live among God's creatures now, in the heavens of your mind,
So do not grieve for me, my friend, as I am with my kind.
My collar is a rainbow's hue, my leash is a shooting star.
My boundaries are the Milky Way, where I sparkle from afar.
There are no pens or kennels here, for I am not confined,
But I'm free to roam God's heavens, among the Doggy kind.
I nap the day on a snowy cloud, gentle breezes rocking me,
And dream the dreams of earthlings, and how it used to be.
The trees are full of liver treats, and tennis balls abound,
And milk bones line the walkways, just waiting to be found.
There even is a ring set up, the grass all lush and green,
And everyone who gaits around, becomes the Best of Breed.
For we're all winners in this place, we have no faults, you see,
And God passes out those ribbons, tto each one, even me.
I drink from waters laced with gold, my world a beauty to behold,
And wise old dogs do form my pride, to amble at my very side.
At night I sleep in angel's arms, Her wings protecting me,
And moonbeams dance about us, as stardust falls on thee.
So when your life on earth is spent, and you stand at Heaven's gate,
Have no fear of loneliness-- For here, you know, I wait".
