I carry you with me, in my heart
even though I have traveled on ahead
to a distant shore. You are with me.
Your smile lights my path, guiding my steps.

You have always been my joy, a love
that was truly mine, a forever love.
I carry your voice in my soul.
Speaking to me of memories,
of what was, will always be.

I carry your touch with me,
wrapped around me like one
of your warm embraces.
I feel your caress and treasure
these moments.

We are one, meant to be.
You are the peace in my dreams
that reunites us to dance among
the stars.

One day you will follow, I know it is hard
waiting for that moment. It is never
easy to wait for what you
wish with all your heart.
Remember for me that one
day we will be as one again
forever and always.

I have seen the morning sun
rise upon my window panes.
I have seen the glory of the sun
as sets at end of day.
I have seen rebirth in the
beginnings of each new day.
I have heard the sounds cast
in my mind of words unsaid.

On a clear day, I can see
forever in the skies above me.
I have seen the love as soft
eyes gazed gently into mine,
I have known love on four legs,
more so than ever I have two.
I have had the pleasure of time
that stands still in my mind.

I have shared the silver of
the teardrops as they fell,
I have heard the words of
others in much pain.
There have been things I
know left unsaid as time heals,
But I have sensed those
teardrops fall like rain.

It is known the pain of words
written for this heart that hurts,
And words fill the gap that time
has not yet felt the need to erase,
You too have words that you too
have yet to speak or write,
About the great hurt of the tears
that you wet upon your face.

So let we who care share your
pain with you my friends,
Let not ever the glory of the
rainbows shine be for naught.
One day more shall we rise
to smell the beauty of the rose.
And once more in the web of
great love shall we be caught.

Yes you have known the glory of
the sunrise as it burst upon the land,
And seen it slowly drift across the
meadow gently kissed with dew.
You have felt its warming rays
spread and warm your very soul,
And you have known the love
of four legs, just as you have two.

You know this life as it stands
is not without its grief,
So Live on this life that you
know you must fulfill,
Until that day that you are
called upon to go,
And you will see the sunlight
shine again upon your sill.

I thank you for the living years,
Days filled with fun and love,
When I walked this earth by your side,
Before I was called above.

No longer a silly ball of baby fuzz,
No longer a proud brave youth,
No longer a strong and noble friend,
What’s left is just me, just my truth.

For I have changed so many times,
Yet somehow you’ve always loved me,
Without seeing that what you really loved
Was inside of me, not what you could see.

I am now free from imprisonment,
I am no longer shackled by pain.
Please do not feel that I am gone,
For we will see each other again.

But you worry that the details may dim,
That one day you’ll forget my face.
Like your clothes, my face has changed many times.
What you loved is my inner grace.

As time stole my beauty and strength,
And dimmed my hearing and sight,
Our love was not dimmed in the least
And you became my beauty and light.

Should you see the sweet innocent face of a child?
Or the strong and brave face of fiery youth?
Or the steadfast face of a trusted friend?
Or the grizzled face, old with the truth?

Now that I do not reside in this plane
Don’t worry if my earthly guise you can’t see.
Remember my inner spirit and light,
The me that your heart always could see.

I will be forever grateful for your courage in helping me. Even though it was hard on your heart you where there for me. Yours was the face of love I saw in my heart when I left this world. All I remember is the love and joy you give me. The pain is no more. I fly with the eagles and run with the wolfs. I dance on the clouds and find their silver lining. Please remember the life we shared and let the joy of these memories help you find peace. You stood by my side and you are always in my heart. We are always one, you gave me the rarest gift that only you could give me the gift of freedom from pain. You made it easier for me to find Rainbow Bridge.

I am not alone, I have made many friends. The lamb does lay down with the lion. Now is time for you to heal. You did what was best for me you let me go. I will never be far. Look into the night sky and the stars that twinkle and know that I am well and whole again. I thank you for the years together no matter how long or short. Love can happen in a heart beat and last forever.
