A 'SPECIAL PLACE'

You have a special place Dear Lord
  that I know you'll always keep
A special place reserved for dogs
  when they quietly fall asleep
With large and airy kennels
  and a yard for hiding bones
With maybe a little babbling creek
  that chatters over stones.
With wide green fields and flowers
  for those who never knew
about running freely under
  Your sky of perfect blue.
Lord, I know You keep this Special Place
  And so to you I Pray,
For one Special Sam and Mutt
  Who quietly died today
They were full of strength & love
  and so very, very wise.
The puppy look they once had
  Had long since left their eyes.
They are dearly missed my Lord
  By a very good friend of mine.
They went to join their ancestors
  To Your land that is Devine
So, speak to Albert. and Teddy softly please
  And give them a warm hello.
They're a Special gift to you Dear Lord
  From us, who loved them so.

 

Bereavement

"No wise man who ever lived could truly comfort the heart that has lost what it held most dear.
Most people have experienced the loss of a loved one. So they try, each in their own way, to make you feel that they understand how sad you are.
The world understands less the pain of losing an animal.
This is because many people have never felt for themselves the true love of an animal. So, you can not really expect these people to realize that your love for a pet may be greater than your love for the dearest people in your life.
The bond is different, and can never be put into words.
It is a bond that only The Heart understands."
