FOREVER SLEEPING
I had to do it,
You deserved the best.
You stood head and shoulders
Above all the rest.
Your life is ending
Way ahead of it's time,
How could I help you?
What cure could I find.
Will there be pain or suffering
Those are the question's I asked.
Nothing will hurt you
Not even at the last.
As you lay your head down
For that one final sleep
Your eyes say you need me
Here's my love to keep.
Your eyes are softly closing
Your breathing has stopped
You're on your way to Heaven
Please don't get lost.
Someday I will see you
In the Heaven's above.
Please don't forget me
I send you my love.

Lend Me A Pup
I will lend to you
a puppy, God said,
For you to love him while he lives
and to mourn for him when he is gone
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years
or maybe for two or three
but will you, till I call him back
take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and (should his stay be brief)
you'll always have his memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise that he will stay
since all from earth return
but there are lesson's taught below
I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in search of teacher's true
and from the folk that crowd life's land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love
nor think the labor vain
nor hate me when I come to take my pup back again.
I fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done"
for all the joy's this pup will bring
the risk of grief you'll run.
Will you shelter him with tenderness
will you love him while you may
and for the happiness you'll know forever grateful stay.
But should I call him back,
Please brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.
If, by your love, you've managed my wishes to achieve,
In memory of him that you've loved
cherish every moment with your faithful bundle,
and know he loved you too.

You have a special place Dear Lord
that I know you'll always keep
A special place reserved for dogs
when they quietly fall asleep
With large and airy kennels
and a yard for hiding bones
With maybe a little babbling creek
that chatters over stones
With wide green fields and flowers
for those who never knew
about running freely under
Your sky of perfect blue.
Lord, I know you keep this special place
And so to you I pray,
For one Special Dog of mine
Who quietly died today
She was full of strngth and love
and so very,very wise
The puppy look she still had
It had not yet left her eyes.
She is dearly missed my Lord
This very good friend of mine.
She went to join her ancestors
To Your land that is Divine
So, speak to Pepper softly please
and give her a warm hello.
She's a Special gift to you Dear Lord
From Denise, who loved her so.
This was sent to me by a wonderful person named Roy. Thank You Roy.
Don't Grieve Too Long
Don't grieve too long for now I'm free
I've followed the path God set for me
I ran to him when I heard his call
I wagged my tail and left it all.
I could not stay another day
to bark, to love, to romp or play
games left unplayed must stay that way
I found such peace it made my day
My parting has left you with a void,
so fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, your laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I to shall miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full,
you've given so much
your time, your love and gentle touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your ear and share with me
God wanted me. He set me free.

PEPPER, MY PUPPY.
5-12-97 - 3-27-98
You came to me, but not for long
God took you back where you belong.
It broke my heart to say goodbye
I know it was right, but still ask why?
You were only a puppy with lots of love,
but God said he needed you up above.
A little girl was lonely up there,
and needed a puppy's love to share
Pepper, you're now at the Rainbow Bridge
watching with Leloo from ontop of the ridge.
You're Happy, Healthy and running Free,
don't go to far. Please wait for me.
I love and Miss you Baby girl

Cayenne Red Pepper
From the time you were born
none of us knew,
the road you must travel
would be solemn and blue.
The Demon took hold,
and wouldn't let go.
You were just a baby
but you were fearless and bold.
Your life was to short,
it just isn't fair.
God took you away,
when I needed you there.
I guess he knew it wasn't in vain
You can play at the Bridge without any pain.
Remember I love You, in my heart you will stay.
You are not gone, you're just a heartbeat away.
Leloo, please take care of Pepper, she's just a baby.
Sleepless Nights (For Turbo)
I try to sleep,
I close my eyes,
I see your face,
Floating in the sky.
A thousand memories
A beautiful smile
My heart is breaking
All the while.
You have gone
And left me alone
What do I do?
Where do I turn?
I want you near
But you are far,
Come closer to me
From where you are.
If I could hold you
For just a little while
Then maybe again
I could learn to smile.
