I STOOD BESIDE YOUR BED LAST NIGHT
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.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such
care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying
there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your
key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's
me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I
tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew
...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to
you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the
morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief
divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand,
side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to
see.
Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home
to be with me.
IN OUR HEARTS
We thought of you with love today.
But that is
nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your
name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your
picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we'll never
part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you
in our heart.
