I have known the pain of losing a cherished pet and looking for a friendship poem for a friend I found this card place that sold this poem and I wanted to post it here for those of you who have recently lost a much loved yorkie this made me cry but smile.
A Letter From your Dog in Heaven
To have loved and then said farewell
is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times
that you have stooped and touched my head,
fed me my favourite treat and returned the love
that I so unconditionally gave to you......
for the care that you gave to me so unselfishly...
for all of these things
I am grateful and thankful.
I ask that you not grieve for the loss
but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and
touched each other's lives.
My life was fuller because you were there,
not as a master/owner, but as my friend.
Today I am as I was in my youth.
The grass is always green, butterflies flit among
the flowers and the sun shines gently down
upon all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump, play
and do all of the things that I did in my youth.
There is no sickness,
no aching joints, no regrets and no aging.
We await the arrival of our lifelong companions
and know that togetherness is forever.
Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself;
give it to another like me and then I will live forever.
For love never really dies, and you are loved
and missed as surely as we are.
