DON'T CRY FOR ME WHEN I'M GONE
Three score and ten are given to man,
But ours is a much briefer span.
So, though I give you all my heart,
The time will come when we must part.
But all around you, you will see,
Creatures that speak to you of me;
A tired horse, a hunted thing,
A sparrow with a broken wing ...
Pity - and help (I know you will)
And somehow, I will be with you still;
And I shall know, although I'm gone,
The love I gave you lingers on.
~ In Memoriam ~
Leo: A Yellow Cat
If to your twilight land of dream-
Persephone, Persephone,
Drifting with all your shadow host-
Dim sunlight comes, with sudden gleam
And you lift veiled eyes to see
Slip past a little golden ghost,
That wakes a sense of springing flowers,
Of nesting birds, of lambs reborn,
Of spring astir in quickening hours,
And young blades of Demeter's corn;
For joy of that sweet glimpse of sun,
Oh, Goddess of unnumbered dead,
Give one soft touch-if only one-
To that uplifted, pleading head!
Whisper some kindly word, to bless
A wistful soul who understands
That life is but one long caress
Of gentle words and gentle hands.
~ Margaret Pollock Sherwood ~

An old monk was once asked why he cared for ancient graves,
and why he cleaned the stones to preserve the writing carved there.
His reply was simple: “They still have their names. They will
always have their names.”
A life infused with love has consequences that reach beyond time
— ensuring that names, and places, and memories of what was,
still are, and always will be. They are not dead, can never die.
~ Gregory & Suzanne Wolfe

♥ Waiting For Wilbur ♥
You run green fields and chase the clouds.
No boundaries. No sorrow. No pain.
Although I want to be with you, it is here where I remain.
Our memories are comfort now.
So treasured. So welcomed. So strong.
Although you are in another place, it is here where I belong.
One day, I know, I’ll cross the bridge.
Over stars. Beyond clouds. By the sea.
But until I travel to rainbows end, by the shore, Wilbur waits for me.
By Carole McCoy, 2010
'Can You See Me?'
by Donna H.
When I look at you:
I see God's beautiful creation on four legs covered in luxurious black fur and soft eyes that sparkle with the sweetest of dispositions.
I see a loyal friend who never left my side through good times and bad and gave me so much love and joy.
I see your questioning eyes as you wait patiently for my attention without complaint.
I see the pain and fear as your body fails on legs
that refuse to walk.
I see your sweet face and I realize what a wonderful, selfless gift your life has been but......
Can you see me through those clouded eyes, once so full of life, now dull and sad?
Can you see the heartbreak I'm feeling, tears streaming down my face, watching helplessly as you struggle to hold onto life?
Can you see how much I love you as I hold you one last time while your eyes close in death and your soul slips away?
Can you see me now from heaven above as I struggle to cope with the loss of my best friend?

I Grieve
- Peter Gabriel
It was only one hour ago -
It was all so different then.
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone.
It's just the way that we are tied in
But there's no one home.
I grieve ...... for you
You leave ...... me
So hard to move on
Still loving what's gone.
They say life carries on
Carries on and on and on and on
The news that truly shocks
Is the empty, empty page.
While the final rattle rocks
Its empty, empty cage.
And I can't handle this ---
I grieve ...... for you
You leave ...... me
Let it out and move on
Missing what's gone.
They say life carries on
Still, life carries on and on and on
Life carries on in the people I meet
Everyone that's out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust.
Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on
Just the car that we ride in
The home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in -
As life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on
Did I dream this belief
Or did I believe this dream?
Now I will find relief
I grieve .............

♥ I Miss You ♥
Another year without you
Tears flow – within this broken heart of mine
I am never complete
A shadow of my former self
You went to the Garden of Paradise this day, that year
I should be happy for you, but I wish you were here so much
And all I can do is cry.

Little Angels Poem
Little angels from up above
Sent to us so full of love,
Never judging, always there
A faithful heart that is so rare.
Gentle eyes, shining bright
An energy of holy light,
Loyalty, that is unmatched
So easily we are attached.
A love so pure, none to compare
Sweet memories that we have shared,
Never could one ever dream
The impact from this little being.
They touch our lives more than we know
We live with them and watch them grow,
Share our laughs and our cries
Always soothed by loving eyes.
Little angels so strong and true
They live their lives just for you,
"Good-bye" for now, we'll meet again
My sweet and pure, angelic friend.

*ღ* I Wake at Night *ღ*
I wake at night - and hear
A soft sweet howl, floating on the wind
A kindred spirit - gone from here and now,
Yet lingering - forever lingering.
I see the ready smile, the proud yet gentle eyes of my dear friend
I smile and weep - for what we shared.... a bond too strong to end.

Metamorphosis
I watched a butterfly dry his wings
On a sun warmed blade of grass.
A dry cocoon fell to the ground.
The need for it was past.
Not long ago a squirmy worm
Had wriggled up this way,
But now this flying flower
Had brightened up my day.
The caterpillar wasn't gone,
But changed, so he could fly.
He left his former way of life
Without a tear or sigh.
I wonder if the caterpillars
That he left behind
Wonder what became of him
Or knew what he would find?
Did they try to hold on to him?
Do they miss him? Do they mourn?
Do they know he isn't gone,
But that he has been reborn?
It can be hard to say good-bye.
It can hurt to let go.
But, sometimes, that's the only way
Those lovely wings can grow.

An Angel's Kiss
Your breath is the song that the morning sings,
Chirping birds, fluttering angel wings,
Daylight dances on the air;
Leaves rustle unaware.
Quietly, thoughts of you wander through my mind,
A gentle breeze on my face I find;
As if a kiss delivered to me
By the angels I know are there, but cannot see.
Just like the love that will never end,
I long to call this sorrow my friend.
By Tracy
