When the Time Comes
John Quealy
Lord, when the time comes please help me be strong
My furry friend is sick; something's terribly wrong
The vet checked her over; there's nothing he can do
I'm afraid soon I'll be sending her; home to You
Please take her back home; on the wings of a dove
Into Your loving arms; up in heaven above
Take her to a meadow; where she can play and run free
Under bright sunlight; among the green grass and trees
She's been a part of my life now; for so many years
I'll miss her so much; my eyes are filling with tears
Please give me the courage; to tell her good-bye
As I know She'll watch over me; through her loving eyes
I'll never forget her; I'll see her one day
Tell her we'll meet at the Bridge; then we'll go play
I'll cherish the memories; of the time we both had
they'll put a smile on my face; then I won't feel as bad

The love held in your heart
Captivates me from the start
Holding you in my arms
You lick my face with all your charm
Watching you as days go by
You quickly grow, I wonder why
That you are given so little time
To live on earth and be all mine
Years pass by, you run and play
I know one day you cannot stay
For time takes a lasting toll
One day you’ll have a new role
To leave the world and be set free
I know you will be watching me
With a saddened heart I will go on
Because of you I can sing a song
The day has come to say goodbye
Holding you, I start to cry
Memories come rushing in
Of how you’ve been my best friend
Losing you, I will go on
You worry that I’m not that strong
Because of you my life was blessed
And filled with so much happiness
Thank you, my 4 legged friend
In due time my heart will mend
A part of me, you’ll always be
My friend for all eternity

MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND
The sun is still rising behind a grey curtain,
And the cold autumn grass drips with spider-web dew,
Darkness is falling each day ever earlier,
Without thinking, I still look for you.
I never had to look too far to find you,
Wherever I was then I knew you’d be near,
You didn’t need words to tell me you loved me,
The music was easy to hear.
History took us on a long ride together,
Down through the years countless days without end,
Now I have to travel without you beside me,
And I miss you, my beautiful friend.
You filled my days with the joy of your presence,
It shattered my heart to set your soul free,
But somewhere I know at the end of this journey,
In the sunshine, you’re waiting for me.
Memories warm but they don’t take your place,
And the dreams only fill me with pain in the end,
But we’ll have forever to walk in the garden,
Me and my beautiful friend.

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.
Audrey E. Nickel, 1966

Time to Say Goodbye
by Michael Tate
You lay in my lap with your amber eyes looking up at me.
We both knew this day would come.
As I run my hands through your coat, you let out a low sigh.
Don't cry, don't ask why, it's time to say goodbye.
You've been my best friend, the one who has seen it all with me.
You've been there through the good and the bad.
You were there to stand with me when I felt tall,
and there to comfort me when I felt small.
Don't cry, don't ask why, it's time to say goodbye.
I tell you I love you and you whine a low whine.
We knew it would come and we wouldn't know the time.
Forever is an illusion we create to avoid the pain.
It's a lie we tell ourselves to keep ourselves sane.
Don't cry, don't ask why, it's time to say goodbye.
You've guided me through some rough times in my life.
You've believed in me when nobody else would.
You've kept me sane and out of harm's way.
You couldn't talk words but you had lots to say.
Don't cry, don't ask why, it's time to say goodbye.
I guess they say that all good things must come to an end.
You've truly been this man's best friend.
Don't cry, don't ask why, it's time to say goodbye.
You feel my pain and hurt my hurt.
As I sob and cry, you look up at me and whine with a paw on my thigh.
You do know that the time has come and your body is telling you why.
Don't cry, don't ask why, it's time to say goodbye.
Your heart aches.
We know this isn't for fake.
They say that a heart is a big place.
I guess that makes this easier to face.
Don't cry, don't ask why, it's time to say goodbye.
As we sit together and face this gloom,
we both know that our hearts
are going to have to make room for another.
As I sob and I cry, oh why, oh why, oh why, God why?
You lay your head on my thigh as if to say...
Don't cry, don't ask why, it's time to say goodbye.
With the wagging of your tail and many a tear in my eye,
I know you'd work for me 'til the day you die.
To know you and make you feel pain would drive me insane.
I always heard
that you've got to love somebody enough to set them free.
This isn't the first time this pain has happened to me.
Don't cry, don't ask why, it's time to say goodbye.
I know you'll be a star in your new home.
It's comforting to know
that neither of us will really ever be alone.
We carry each other's spirit and memories into eternity.
We'll meet again someday in the here after
and there will be smiles and laughter.
Don't cry, don't ask why, it's time to say goodbye.
Goodbye isn't forever; it's a temporary thing.
Knowing you'll be happy and not in so much pain makes my heart sing.
Don't cry, don't ask why, it's time to say goodbye.

SOFT PAW
Roderick Hill
Down cast eyes, the minute cries,
the elegant footstep slowly dies.
The silence stops, now you are gone,
the sadness starts where you once shone.
Ambling comfortably through the home,
seeing no boundaries alone she roams.
Soft paw sleeping in the afternoon sun,
time moves on and a life is run.
She moved with freedom, as the endless sky,
Then died to sleep, to rest to fly.
We cling to the moments, we cherish the past,
The petals of the flower finally cast.
But now she is roaming in the stars
Her graceful spirit fleets above ours,
The tears may fall, like crystal rain,
Yet she is happy and alive and free again.
So lift our souls, cast our smiles,
Cheer our hearts and laugh a while,
In the eternal blue she watches, it seems,
The hopes, the fears, the lives, the dreams.
Waves break loud on a far sea-shore,
Where blew a flower, may a flower no more
Brake in the sun till the run breaks down
and death shall have no dominion.

Christmas Without My Dog
The tree is all trimmed.
The gifts are all wrapped.
The hymns are all sung,
And the travel plans mapped.
And still there's a sadness
That lies in your heart,
For a dog that was lost
And a love now apart.
A stocking is missing,
With toys and a treat.
A lap is now empty,
A space at your feet.
Yet remember this season
God's small gift to you,
Wonderful memories
To treasure life through.

A Gift Of Paws
(Terri Onorato)
In the silent Christmas morning my heart begins to
ache as feelings from the day you left dawn slowly with daybreak.
I say a prayer of grateful thanks for the life that I've been blessed
and ask for strength so that I might through pain find happiness.
God sent you as a present though not received on Christmas day,
a gift of paws that reached down deep and stole my heart away.
Tears are part of healing, each one shed will ease the pain, so that memories will come to mind in a most dynamic, ardent way.
I doubt that you would want me to spend this day in tears.
I know you'd rather see me smile as from atop a cloud you peer.
Though a time or two I've lost my way since the Keeper called you Home,
now faith restored by angel paws will never come undone. A loving aura fills the sky as you rest on clouds of fleece,
and angels gently tuck you in,
may you sleep in heavenly peace.
