Time To Go **Revised Dog To Ferret The time has come I think you know the Lord is calling so I must go I love you so much; I wish it wasn't so I wish I could stay; I don't want to go You're the best family a ferret ever had so kind and gentle, never mean or mad I'll never forget the day that we met I was so lucky to become your pet You opened your door and showed me your heart I'll never forget you; we'll never part You loved me and cared for me over the years you taught me everything and took away my fears The Lord is calling now I must go but before I go I want you to know I know it hurts to lose a friend but I'll be with you even at the end. John Quealy Golden Memories They say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one else could fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane. I'd walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us back one by one, the chain will link again. Author Unknown The Last Battle If it should be that I grow frail and weak and pain should keep me from my sleep, Then you must do what must be done, For this--the last battle--can't be won. You will be sad I understand, Don't let grief then stay your hand, For on this day, more than the rest, Your love and friendship must stand the test. We have had so many happy years, What is to come can hold no fears You'd not want me to suffer, so. When the time comes, please let me go. Take me to where to my needs they'll tend, Only, stay with me til the end And hold me firm and speak to me Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree it is a kindness you do to me. Although my tail its last has waved, From pain and suffering I have been saved. Don't grieve that it must be you Who has to decide this thing to do; We've been so close--we two--these years, Don't let your heart hold any tears. Author Unknown I Am Not There Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die. Author Unknown MORE TO COME..... BACK TO MAIN PAGE
