[Oagdu] FW: [The-dog-park] poem

[Marianne Denning]

Since I have had so many dogs in my life will there be a dog fight or
will they all get along?  Also, will my dog guides all try to guide me
in different directions?  (smile)

>> 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 re-assure 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 "good-night, 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.
