(In Loving Memory - Pet Loss - Dog Poems)

All the balls I should have thrown

The walks I skipped, had I known.

I miss having dog hair on the floor

I miss you scratching at the door.

Without you here, is not the same

‘Cause no-one comes, when I call your name.

I miss our games of hide and seek

I miss you more each passing week.

Late at night as I lie in bed

I long to hold and scratch your head.

Last night I saw you whilst dreaming

Your eyes so bright and your coat was gleaming

Across the fields you player and run

Like a pup again just having fun.

I saw you sitting by your tree

Your smiling face said sit with me.

And so I sat with you my friend

You promised me my heart will mend.

You said that you’re not to far away

Deep in my heart you will always stay.

You said you’re happy there is no pain

And in your heart my love remains.

You told me it was time to go

And to not forget how you loved me so.

Don’t be sad that we are apart

I’m always there inside your heart.

I miss you

(In Loving Memory - Pet Loss - Cat Poem)

You were a tiny furry kitten

the day I took you home

I knew I had a friend in you

and would never be alone.

You grew and grew and got so large

you looked like a ball of fur.

I miss you now as you had to leave

but I remember you the way you were.

You had a life fit for a King

and a kingdom for you to roam.

and now I’ll see you in my dreams

but I will always feel alone.

You were my very best friend

so much fun to watch and see.

I never knew what you would do next

as you also liked to roam free..

I worried when you stayed out all night

but I knew you were having fun.

chasing bunnies, mice and toads

always on the run.

You will live on in my heart dear friend

and I’ll feel your presence here.

when I am all alone

I can still feel you near.

I know you are at the Rainbow Bridge

with the animals I loved before.

They were all there waiting

and let you through the door.

When time comes for us to be

I’ll be walking over the Ridge.

and together we will be forever

as we cross the Rainbow Bridge.

(In Loving Memory - Pet Loss)

Warm light coming from far below,

Twinkling, sparkling is the candle’s glow.

All is well up on the ridge,

The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.

Furbabies sleeping in heaven’s light,

Tended by candles in the night.

Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,

As they slumber in this night so deep.

Hearts on earth that miss them so,

Take comfort in the candle’s glow.

Watching for them in skies above,

Bound eternally by a cord of love.
