But there are lessons taught down there I want this dog to learn.
I've looked the wide world over, in my search for masters true, And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you. Now will you give her your love, nor think the labor
vain, Nor hate me when I come to call to take her back again?
We answered in sincerity, Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy this dog shall bring,
the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter her with tenderness, and love her while we may,
And for the happiness we will know, we'll ever grateful stay. But shall the angels call for her
much sooner than we planned, We'll know the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."

Bambi's Mom Thank you ever so much for posting this here, I have cried a river of tears since our Cassie left us, that was the hardest night of my life.
I recall it over and over in my mind, not being able to pray once for her to stay cause I knew it was God's time to call her to be back with him. I am going to print this most beautiful poem off and frame it and place it by the side of her urn. Understand, yes I do, but accepting it is so hard to do. I miss our Cassie so much, oh how I wish so many times to be able to hold her and tell her once again how much she is loved, all I can say to others is PLEASE TELL YOUR PRECIOUS YORKIE HOW MUCH IT IS LOVED time has a way of slipping by so quickly, I am so thankful for all the many many times I told ours how much we loved her, and I now still tell her, and somehow I feel God allows her to look down and see and feel my love for her. Thank you God for bringing her into her life and even though we had to give her back to you, much to soon for us, we only wish we could have lived our lives out with her.
