God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place.
And then He looked down
upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

After the storm had blown away,
I saw a rainbow up above.
It spoke to me of peace,
It spoke to me of love.
I saw the rainbow glowing,
As it replaced the stormy skies,
I felt a fear down deep inside,
As it reflected in my eyes.
In a shadow I stood there,
Tall and strong and bold,
On my cheeks ran silver teardrops,
Some were new and some were old.
My love for you
Glows in each silver tear,
The colors run together now,
And wipes away my fears.

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.

When I dream I see you just around the corner
waiting for me. I see you so clearly, that if I
reached my hand out I would touch your warmth.
I hear you sigh and feel the caress of your breath on
my cheek. I touch my face and picture
you just around the corner.
In the darkness of the night when all the light is gone
and I fear will never see the light of the sun, I hear your heart
beat. Then I see a silver glow. Within that glow a path appears.
Showing me one day I will follow.
I see you always near. Just around the corner,
where my heart dwells.

Ebbing tides of sorrow break,
Over those who will seek but ease.
The hearts and souls and minds that ache,
Waiting for the wind called peace.
The love that came from up above,
Was sent with them to us to teach.
Mission complete, took back his loves,
Now we wait for the wind of peace.
They brought His word to us to learn,
Now they fly on wings of iridescent hue,
A silverwolf was sent to me,
Who now flies with wings of blue.
So learn you well the word of love,
Even tho when gone you feel no ease.
When he takes them back above,
And leaves you searching for the wind called peace.

Light a candle in Corky's memory, for a sick, abused, or special needs furbaby,
or perhaps just someone who needs a prayer and a candle lit.
