With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes
after all these years; we must say goodbye
Please understand; we've done all we could
if there was anything we could do; you know we would

When you are sad,
I will dry your tears.
When you are scared,
I will comfort your fears.

God saw he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around him and whispered, Come with Me.
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and slowly fade away.
Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay.

Do not mourn my passing for if you could only see
by slipping all my earthly bonds, I'm young again and free.
By day I run the Heavenly fields, my body healthy and strong
At night I sleep at Angels' Feet, lulled by Celestial Song.

May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say good-bye to pain-filled days
and endless lonely nights?

A rose once grew where all could see
Sheltered beside a garden wall
And as the days past swiftly by,
It spread its branches straight and tall.

We have a secret, you and I
that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie
each night in fire glow?

Memories build a special bridge
when loved ones have to part
to help us feel we're with them still
and soothe a grieving heart.

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.

You're giving me a special gift,
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.

Don't think of her as gone away-
her journey's just begun
life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one

Old dog in a locket
That lies next to my heart
I will always love you
As I did right from the start

Forever is too far to see from where we are today,
But loved ones who have reached a higher view
Have found a perfect home where every sorrow goes away,
And there they wait to welcome me and you...

Your favorite chair is vacant now...
No eager purrs to greet me.
No softly padded paws to run
Ecstatically to meet me.

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
