I've been thinking about the very hard time Jim is now enduring. To have to lose such a beloved pet is a terrible ordeal.
I remember from long ago back to when I went through that tragic time.
I thought to write to help Jim and this is what I came up with. I hope it may be of some comfort in his sad time of grief.-Tyr



Death Is Not The End


Those gone but not forgotten shall endure
in living memories in each loving heart
A testament to great love that is truly pure
crossing death's barrier keeping us apart!

Resting in meadows across the great divide
dearly departed shall embrace yet again
Our coming with love and smiles very wide
into a magnificent paradise for love and man!

They speak to us when the wind softly moans
or cool breeze wraps us on a very hot day
Gentle whispers echoing with such loving tones
so we may know they desire we find our way!

Resting so far away in that gentle goodnight
knowing time will come when we shall arrive
Waiting for the moment our souls take flight
to a realm together again, we shall be alive!

May they both know that death is but a brief separation......
