If you've ever lost a dog this will strike a chord.

I Remember

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.
