NO FAREWELLS
"If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven to bring you home again.
No farewells were spoken,
No time for goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears will flow,
What is meant to me to lose you,
No one will ever know."
Karen White
WHEN
TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
"When
tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
The
sun will rise and find your eyes
All
filled with tears for me.
I
wish so much you wouldn't cry
The
way you did today,
Remembering
how I'd lay my head
In
your lap that special way.
I
know how much you love me,
As
much as I love you,
And
each time that you think of me,
I
know you'll miss me too.
But
when tomorrow starts without me.
Please
try to understand,
That
an angel came and called my name
And
petted me with her hand.
She
said my place was ready,
In
Heaven far above,
And
that I'd have to leave behind
All
those I dearly love.
But,
as I turned to heel away,
A
tear fell from my eye,
For
all my life I never thought
That
I would have to die.
I
had so much to live for,
So
many sits and downs to do,
It
seemed almost impossible,
That
I was leaving you.
I
thought about our lives together,
I
know you must be sad,
I
thought of all the love we shared,
And
all the fun we had.
Remember
how I'd nudge your hand,
And
poke you with my nose?
The
frisbee I would gladly chase,
The
bad guy, I'd "bark and hold".
If
I could relive yesterday,
Just
even for awhile,
I'd
wag my tail and kiss you,
Just
so I could see you smile.
But,
then I fully realized,
That
this could never be;
For
emptiness and memories
Will
take the place of me.
And
when I thought of treats and toys,
I
might miss come tomorrow,
I
thought of you and when I did,
My
dog-heart filled with sorrow.
But
then I walked through Heaven's gate,
And
felt so much at home;
As
God looked down and smiled at me,
From
His beautiful golden throne.
He
said, "This is eternity,
And
now we welcome you,
Today
your life on earth is past,
But
here it starts anew.
I
promise no tomorrow,
But
today will always last;
For
you see, each days's the same day,
There's
no longing for the past.
Now
you have been so faithful,
So
trusting, loyal and true;
Though
there were times you did things,
You
knew you shouldn't do.
But
good dogs are forgiven,
And
now at last you're free;
So
won't you sit here by my side,
And
wait right here with me?"
So
when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't
think we're far apart.
For
every time you think of me,
I'm
right there, in your heart. "
