I haven't left at all

Haven’t Left At All

I saw you gently weeping as you looked through photographs
You paused for just a moment at one that made you laugh.

But as you turned more pages the tears began to flow
You whispered that you missed me but I want you to know;

I softly licked those stinging tears that down your cheeks did fall
I want to help you understand I haven’t left at all.

On those days that you are overcome with sorrow, pain and grief
I rest my head upon your leg to offer some relief.

When you take our walking path I’ve seen you turn around
Because I know you surely heard my paws upon the ground.

At night while you are sleeping I snuggle at your side
You stroke my fur as you touch that place where I used to lie.

You said it’s just your heart playing tricks upon your mind
But rest assured I’m really there, my spirit’s left behind.

I know your heart is hurting; it’s like an open sore
You think my life has ended and you won’t see me anymore.

But for those of us bound tight by love, death is not the curtain call;
It’s really the eternal beginning that waits for us all

So as you live your life I patiently await
For us to be together when you pass through Heaven’s gate.

OK - now I have to explain to George why I'm sniffling. But thank you.

Thank you for sharing that lovely poem (lump in my throat). I posted a similiar poem called "Lend Me A Pup" back in Jan/Feb this year on the second anniversary we had to lay Harley D, DJ and Annie to rest in a 6 week time frame.

So sweet. Made me cry thinking about my little angel Oscar. I miss him so much and think about him every day. This poem really helps. I know that he is not gone and is with me always. He was my little baby and will forever be in my heart. Thank you for posting this it made my day.

Thank you for posting this even though the tears are streaming down my face. My Heidi has been gone almost 8 months now and I'm still having such a hard time. I got her when she was 7 weeks old and we were so close. She is in a little tin in her spot next to me in bed and I tell her goodnight and good morning every day. I keep thinking it's going to get easier but it hasn't. God Bless You my little Angel.

yes, i've read that poem too & love it! that's so horrible... 3 in 6 weeks? i'm so sorry you had to go through that! the joy you experience from these little babies is always greater than the sorrows though. they live for forever in our hearts and the love never dies.
i love how all your kids are rescues! that's wonderful! i am definately going to adopt my next yorkie from a rescue when i feel the time is right. it has only been 4 weeks since nika passed away, but her momma, zowi is very lonely without her and i can tell she would love the companionship of another yorkie. thanks so much for sharing!

i'm so very sorry for your loss of your little heidi. it's sooooo hard losing these little ones and we do get soooo close that only we understand! it's hard for me to do anything without thinking of nika because we were inseperable. nika's buried at my dads house and i visit her there frequently. i have a pic of her right inside the door and greet her / say goodnight every day too. it's been four weeks today and it hasn't seemed to get easier for me either... i'm sending my deepest sympathies and hope that the happy memories of our little angels will get us through these hard times. it sounds like heidi had a great mom & i'm sure she knew how much you loved her, as i am sure that nika knew about me as well. ~hugs~

this was beautiful..I lost all 3 of my yorkies to old age and it has been so hard as you all know..they were Miss Scarlet, Rhett Butler and their baby Kati Bug. It was too hard to compose how I was feeling each time one would leave me ..but now this has made it a little easier....by the way I did rescue another 5 year old yorkie named him Dudley-do-Little..he has been the most help ..I am greatful and so is he...Thank You KarenScarlet and Dudley.....
