When the waves of Sorrow lap at your feet,
And they work up to your heart.
Silver hued tears run down your cheeks,
And naught but sadness does impart.

Think of this place called Rainbow’s Bridge,
And the wondrous glory there.
A silent shadow looks down from a ridge,
And stands on edge your hair.

What is this wondrous graceful sound I hear,
That whispers to me on the breeze?
It is a sound that whispers peace,
And fills my heart with ease.

Is this my love that comes to me,
And whispers on the breeze?
It seems to say feel not guilt,
Listen to my whispers please.

Daddy, mommy, I Love You,
Forever and one day.
In your heart feel not blue,
Just listen to what I say.

I speak to you with sounds of love,
From high upon this ridge.
I wait for you to come above,
I’m happy at Rainbow Bridge.

God promised at the birth of time,
A special friend to give,
Her time on earth is short, He said,
So love her while she lives.
It may be for eight or ten years,
Or only two or three,
But will you, till I call her back,
Take care of her for Me?

A wagging tail and cold wet nose,
And silken velvet ears,
A heart as big as all outdoors,
To love you through the years.
Her puppy ways will gladden you,
And antics bring a smile,
As guardian or friend she will,
Be loyal all the while.
She'll bring her charms to grace your life,
And though her stay be brief,
When she's gone the memories,
Are solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But lessons only a dog can teach,
I want you each to learn.
I've looked the whole world over,
In search of guardians true,
And from the folk that crowd life's
land, I have chosen you.

Whatever love you give to her,
Returns in triple measure,
Follow her lead and gain a life,
Brim full of simple pleasures.
Enjoy each day as it comes,
Allow your heart to guide,
Be loyal and steadfast in love,
As the dog there by your side.
Now will you give her all your love,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call,
To take her back again?
I fancy each of us would say,
Dear Lord, thy will be done,
For all the joys this dog shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for her,
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand.
If by our love we've managed,
God's wishes to achieve,
In memory of her that we have loved,
And to help us while we grieve;
When our faithful bundle departs,
This earthly world of strife,
We'll get yet another pup,
And love him all his life.

They say memories are golden;
well, maybe that is true.

I never wanted memories
I only wanted you.

A million times I will miss you,
a million times I will cry.

If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place
no pup could ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you,
but you did not go alone.

For part of me went with you,
the day God called you home.

Your precious memory is my keepsake,
with which I'll never part.

God has you safe in His keeping,
but I'll have you forever in my heart.

If tears could build a stairway,
and heartache make a lane,

I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Gone To Soon

I hear your heart calling out for me
gone to soon my Lil one
You look for me in places we once
spent many happy hours. Asking
why.

I feel your tears as they gently
flow from pain filled eyes.
Each one glows with love
for me. Memories come to you
of when I used to dry your tears.

I still do, that will never change
when you feel the breeze caress
your face is me kissing your
tears away.

Remember for me
that our time on this earth may
of been short but the love is
always. You opened your
heart letting me in. Giving
love I may of never known.

You gave me a home, a family
peace to a wounded heart.
When it was time for me
to journey to Rainbow Bridge
I took that love with me like
a warm hug.

I know it is hard on your heart
to have had to say good bye to
me just after having said hello.

Please remember for me
that it was never good bye,
but till we meet again
never to be parted.
