When You Were Here

You came to me the usual way
a surprise gift... that fateful Mother's Day
Just a small, curious, wriggly pup... placed in my arms
In such a short time I was seduced by your charms

The days did pass as you played and grew
I think you taught me as much as I thought I taught you
Love..and trust... did come slowly at first
But, there for each other, we saw our best...and our worst

I was as smitten with you as you were for me
and together we faced each day with such wonder..such glee
All good things, though, must come to an end
as it did for you too...my dear, sweet, little friend

As you started to slow down, and often didn't hear me
I turned a blind eye, not accepting , refusing to see
If I had looked to the future and had seen that tomorrow
would I have changed such fate...to avoid impending sorrow?

I know I would not...what memories we've had
The good times, the bad times...both happy and sad
Yes, I would gladly do it all over again
We'll be together, forever, and not..."if"... just "when"

You're no longer here to brighten my day
But you sent me an Echo to help lead the way
My love for you now on loan to her
She and I now almost as close... as you and I once were

Yes, my love, my heart did go on,
When I look at her I almost forget that you're gone
She's so much like you... each day she reveals more
What secrets she's keeping, you'll both tell me ...I'm sure

Happy Birthday Leibchen

Lei-Lei would have been seventeen years old today. A great big
Happy Birthday to also goes out to Echo, who is four years old today!
Thank you Lei-Lei...and thank you too, Echo.

Not goodbye.....just until
Marmy always comes back for you

The most blessed way I have of knowing God's comforting love and grace is to look into the eyes and heart of God's creatures' sweet angelic face.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone,
For parts of us went with you ... the day God called you home


My beautiful Angel, Daisy - I will love and miss you forever xx
