I STOOD BY YOUR BED LAST NIGHT
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to
sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down
to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting
sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such
care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your
key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew,
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Good-Night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief
divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you
to see.
Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be
with me.

My Dearest little puppy dog:
Puppy I know you can't read but you can feel my thoughts as I write this little note to you tonight.I am always thinking of you Bud, you were such a sweet widdle boy.You trusted me with your life while you were here with me and I loved you so.You were so kind, gentle and caring and though you were often in pain, you never complained.I'm glad my voice was sweetest music to your little ears and a picture of love to your little eyes.Maybe someday we will meet again my puppy dog and we will be together forever.I know where you are, you are made well again, you can run, jump and romp and play, no pains or hurts.The Great Master will take real good care of you, for you are a little jewel.You must have met alot of new friends by now.Somewhere in your little heart I know you will have a memory of me, as I will always remember you.The pain of you going away is easing up a little more each day but I sure wish you would come back and stay my sweet widdle puppy dog.To see your little face, your little eyes and the sweet sounds you used to make.
Puppy I will always love you, make no mistake.
That sad morning you were trying to tell me you were leaving, but I was not to see you go.You slipped away so quietly no one will ever know.I have some pictures I will hold ever so close of you while you were here.Hope you get to ride on a lawn mower, four wheeler and bicycles if you are where any of these things are near.As these words are often said; Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust.Your ashes will soon be coming home to one day make the long journey with me in search of you up on Rainbow Bridge.
Love you puppy and soon (I hope) see you again.
Your ever loving master, Sonnie
