Precious Paws
In Loving Memory of my animals
We've spent so many hours together, my precious friend
There's nothing I dreaded more than saying goodbye
It came all too quickly, and unexpected
Not that knowing would have made it any easier
But I looked in your eyes
I saw your pain
I knew that as your best friend I had to do what was right
There was only one decision I could make
And I sat with you, through those final moments
Tears flowing freely and unashamed
I watched the light leave your eyes
And I heard your last breath
I rested my head on your neck
I told you I'd love you forever
I told you about the green pastures waiting for you
Where you could run wild and free
And as I sat with the shell that was only your body
Your neck still so soft and silky
I closed your eyes and straightened your mane
And I whispered that you were the best horse in the world
Now, only days later, I am alone
So few who understand this soul-torturing hurt
Wearing a mask on my face to hide my pain
Wishing I could hear your soft nicker just one more time
I believe, I have to believe, that we will meet again
Somewhere in those green pastures I can see you waiting
When my time has come, and I am ready to go
You'll come trotting up to meet me, and carry me home.
I miss your big brown eyes
I miss your strong heart
I miss your patience
I miss your ability to love me
I miss you.
I will miss seeing you in the pasture
I will miss watching you roll.
I will miss hearing your hoofbeats as you run to me
I will miss your amazing horse smell
I will miss you.
I miss the power you had when we soared
I miss your twelve foot stride that ate up the ground
I miss the way your knees tucked when we jumped those high fences
I miss how you always stood while I mounted
I miss you.
I will miss your ability to forgive me no matter
how bad the day has been, or how bad the ride went
I will miss your huggable neck that always welcomed my tears
I will miss the way you looked at me throughout the ride
I will miss your eagerness to jump
I will miss you.

Sunlight streams through window pane
unto a spot on the floor....
then I remember,
it's where you used to lie,
but now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
and muted echoes sound....
then I remember,
It's where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road,
and up beyond the hill,
then I remember it can't be yours....
your golden voice is still.
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor
and empty muted hall
and lay them with the absent voice
and unused dish along the wall
I'll wrap these treasured memorials in a blanket of my love
and keep them for my best friend until we meet above.
May you R.I.P my sweet loving Caramel

May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say good-bye to pain-filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I want to go. I really do.
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your tears.
I'll not be far, I promise that,
and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you, too.
That's why it's hard to say good-bye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.
May you R.I.P my sweet loving Bichoe

I know that you can't see me,
but trust me I'm right here.
Although I'm up in heaven,
my love for you stays near.
So often I see you crying,
many times you call my name.
I want so much to lick your face
and ease some of your pain.
I wish that I could make you see
that Heaven indeed is real.
If you could see me run and play
how much better you would feel.
But our loving God has promised me
that when the time is right,
you'll step out of the darkness and
meet me in the light.
May you R.I.P my sweet loving Luna

Don't grieve too long for now I'm free
I've followed the path an Angel set for me
I ran to Him when I heard His call
I swished my tail and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To meow, to love, to romp or play
Games left unplayed must stay that way
I found such peace; it made my day.
My parting has left you with a void
Please feel it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, your laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too shall miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full, you've given so much
Your time, your love and gentle touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your head and share with me
An angel wanted me; He set me free!!
May you R.I.P my sweet loving Romeo

​
The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
Your Angel Romeo
May you R.I.P my sweet loving Kyra

I said goodbay to you today, little Kyra.
Fingers caught on bones when I stroke your fur.
You could scarcely rais your head to drink,
yet still you calmed me whit your purr.
Were you comfortable curled on the rug?
And did you know your time drew near?
Your wide green eyes held gentle love,
and quiet pain, but showed no fear.
You slipped away so quitley,
that I can almost not believe that you were gone.
My bouncy little Kyra is stilled
but your spirit lingers on.
Little Kyra, you can join Romeo now and play along,
you will be happy and strong.
I feel your warmth, your life, your love
and still I can hear your purring song.
You will never be forgotten and will always be in my heart little Kyra
May you R.I.P my sweet loving Mabische

And God asked the rabbity spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a bunny , you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.
Are you coming then? asked an Angel
Soon, replied the squeak bunny
But I must come slowly
For my human friend and bunny Zotje troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.
But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.
Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious bunny
For I will whisper into there hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.
And my human friend says I understand you my dear Mabische
it is time for you to go, you will live in my heart my best friend so true,
your memories fill my mind, I will never forget you.
I held you in my arms for a little while,
I now hold you in my heart forever and ever and ever
Than bunny zotje whispered go my friend, althought we are apart,
your spirit lives whithin me, forever and ever and ever in my heart
May you R.I.P my sweet loving Zoë

No more will I hear
Your most contented purr
That made you dribble on your fur
No more will I be greeted at the door
By your hello meow
No more will you pirouette around my feet
And perform your excited meal time dance
No more will you curl up on my lap
Never again will I wake up
To hear your morning purr
For you have no more mornings
While you sleep your eternal sleep
You were more than a cat
You were a welcoming friend
A quiet companion
You were a constant
And I will miss you Zoë
I have shared with you your laughter,
You have wet my fur with tears.
We've come to know each other
Throughout these many years.
Just one more hug this morning
Before you drive away,
And know I'll think about you
Throughout your busy day.
The time we've left together
Is a treasured time at that.
My heart is yours forever.
I Promise little Zoë
Little Zoë , you can join Romeo and Kira now and play along,
you will be happy and strong.
You will never be forgotten and will always be in my heart little Zoë
May you R.I.P sweet loving Zotje

These fresh tears that fall from my eyes are because
my precious little bunny died
as i write this tears are flowing
i cant keep my pain not showing
i trued to be cheerful and merry
i had such hope he would live
now all i can do is mope
all i can do is sit here...
cry until nothings left
die where he took his last breath...
Softly in the morning
you heart a gentle call of your friend Mabische.
"Come zotje whispered Mabische it is time to come to me my friend"
You placed your head in the hand of an Angel
and quietly left us all...
You are back together now my little bunny's
your spirits lives whithin me, forever and ever and ever in my heart...
