The Unicorn's Ride

Over your rainbow A unicorn flew
He was sent to find me . . He said by you.
"Climb aboard", he whispered, "We must go for a ride..."
And into a portal of light ~ We rode inside.

The sky was so blue . . The fields so green ~
With each explosion of light . . Was a wonderful scene.
So happy we seem . .And always together.
There was no end to your dream ~ It just went on forever.

Then the unicorn said ~ "I have one more surprise..."
So we took off quickly and pierced the sky.
Then I saw you sleeping . . and dreaming on your bed...
I caressed your fur gently and kissed you on your head.

The unicorn interrupted... ~ "I must now get you home,
But now that you've seen his dream ~ May you never feel alone."
My heart is feeling heavy ~ A fire burns inside.
Thank you so much my darling
For the unicorn's ride.

The Other Side

I have cried a river for you
So you can swim to the other side
Just follow that stick with
My last hug and kiss
Swim baby swim
To get to the other side
Where the grass is always green
The sun always shines and
Will warm you tired bones
Swim baby swim
A treat is always waiting
And play time never stops
Just remember to look for me
When I take my final swim
I will see your tail a wagging
Can't wait for my licks from you
When I get to the other side

SAM WITH LOVE

Into Spirit

I see you grieve,
I feel you grieve
But I am with you.
And will stay, til you laugh
When remembering the fun
We had in all those years.
Thank you for the courage to let me go,
No more weary, no more pain,
I am with you, you will feel me
My cold nose, my waving tail.
You will see my smiling mouth and shining fur,
You will hear my happy voice.
I can run now, I can play now
With all my family and my friends.
But I will love you and I will watch you
Til we meet again.

A Woodland Place

A woodland place full of dreams,
A mossed bank and bluebells,
Grey ashes floating down
Sinking into browned rich earth,
Spirit soft bodies,
Happy eyes waving tails
Cold noses pressed into our hands
There and all around, easing grief,
In soft warm, warm spring air.

Dreams ~
Please don't think you are alone
because I've left your sight,
for I proudly sit atop a cloud
and visit you each night.
The angel paws upon your skin,
and the nudge within your palm
are really me inside your dreams
the quiet hours before dawn.
Please know I'm waiting for you,
but until your time arrives
I'll be the touch and comforting
the dreams that fill your mind.

I have loved you for as long as I can remember
but now you obey a different master.
You hear a new voice, you greet a new face.
Carry my love and joy in your heart
I am but a memory now.
My gentle touch, our favorite games
no longer required to complete the day.
Your suffering gone, the pain relieved
they are but memories now.
Carry my friendship in your heart
until the day we play again.

Shadow's Song
I'm not gone… not really.
I haven't gone away… I've only gotten bigger.
My eyes, so bright, now shine among the stars.
My voice sings with the wind in winter, as I leap
And dance among the tree tops.
I stalk the blown leaves in autumn,
and brush the flowers gently in the Spring.
I come to you in dreaming, on feet grown dreamtime soft,
And lay my cheek against yours, and whisper:
"Peace be with you."
Someday we will play again together, you and I, among the stars
'Til then, fear not to love, for your love gave my life meaning
And I return that love to you
a hundredfold….a thousandfold… Forever.

THERE IS A NEW STAR SHINING IN THE SKY TONIGHT...♥♥♥
by Sarah Hartwell

There is an old belief that the stars shining in the night sky are the
spirits of those who have died.♥ They have shed their earthly bodies and
exchanged them for bodies made of light;♥ thousands upon thousands of our
dear departed friends all promoted to glory in the night sky.♥ There is
another saying that the brightest flame burns the shortest.♥

My friend, you were the brightest star in my own universe.♥ While I burn
on, my flame dimmed by grief and despair at your passing,♥ the stars are
watching me.♥ They are too far away for me to touch,♥ just as you have
gone somewhere I cannot follow until my own star-time comes.♥ They
cannot be held close for comfort,♥ just as I can no longer hold you
close,♥ though I held you close to comfort you in your final hours.♥ We
were together for such a short time,♥ but the stars will burn forever.♥

One day I will grow tired of this earthbound body,♥ my own star-time will
come and my spirit will soar into the sky to burn with all those friends
who have gone before me.♥ On the inky cloth of space we will be reunited
in constellations of joy.♥ Until then, my flame burns low and dim and
cold without you.♥ Through my tears I look upwards to see if you are
watching me and what do I see?♥

There is a new star shining in the sky tonight.♥

FOREVER SAM♥♥♥

Eulogy for a Beloved Pet♥♥♥
Our Father in heaven, we thank you for all creation,
for flowers of field and garden, for friends and family voices,
and especially for our faithful friend and constant
companion, Sam.
This beloved pet, though unable to speak,
told us in many ways that we were loved by
one of Your creation. It has been said
that actions speak louder than words.
In many ways, Sam spoke of his
constant love, respect and loyalty to us.
Would that mankind could do likewise.
We have come here to say farewell to a true friend
and loving member of our household.
We thank You, Lord, for sending us this beloved
companion. Sam will not be forgotten.

A SECRET
Author Unknown

"We have a secret, you and I
that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie
each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand
before we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you
and touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths
and see ahead of me,
your small form racing with the wind
so young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
in every brook I pass
and when I call, no one but I
can see the bending grass."
