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.
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.
