- 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 reassure 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 every day.
- 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 "Goodnight, 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.
