I cry every time i read this.I love you Tiny.

A Little Dog Angel

High up in the courts of heaven today
a little dog angel waits;
with the other angels he will not play,
but he sits alone at the gates.
"For I know my master will come" says he,
"and when he comes he will call for me."

The other angels pass him by
As they hurry toward the throne,
And he watches them with a wistful eye
as he sits at the gates alone.
"But I know if I just wait patiently
that someday my master will call for me."

And his master, down on earth below,
as he sits in his easy chair,
forgets sometimes, and whispers low
to the dog who is not there.
And the little dog angel ##s his ears
and dreams that his master's voice he hears.

And when at last his master waits
outside in the dark and cold,
for the hand of death to open the door,
that leads to those courts of gold,
he will hear a sound through the gathering dark,
a little dog angel's bark.

Dear IlovemydogTiny,

I am so sorry about your pain at the loss of your sweet Tiny. Loosing our non-human family member is so painful and I understand your pain. Thank you for sharing the poem. I've seen this a few times and it always bring tears to my eyes. In all honestly, I hope it's not totally correct since I hate to think of my beautiful Peggy just sitting and waiting for me. I hope with all my heart that she's playing and happy where she is but always has an ear ##ed in my direction so she can keep tabs on where and how I am, until the time comes when we'll be reunited. However, I certainally don't mean to take anything away from the beautiful poem you so graciously shared with us. I hope the pain in your heart eases and you will be in my prayers.

Take care of yourself.

Peggy (the human)
