THE MEMORIAL PAGE

I'm Here

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 rubbed my head against your leg, In hopes that you would know "It was 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 I was happy, because I think that you knew...

in the stillness of that evening, I was very close

to you.

Now the day is over... I wag my tail and watch as you are 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.
