GOD’S GARDEN
God looked around His garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put His arm around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering.
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed your eyelids,
And whispered, “Peace be thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you Home.

My Malibu, I know you’re still there, that you can hear me, and maybe see me, and I’m sorry I’m still crying and mourning your loss ’cause I know you want me to smile and remember the good times we had! But it’s not that easy, baby, you left us behind, like a butterfly rests on a flower for only a short time, to fly away forever…you came into my life for short two years and a half, to leave silently and suddenly, leaving mommy in desperation…
I am so thankful we talked one more time after your passing, it was painful, but I had so many questions and so many doubts that are now answered, thank YOU! Still, I am so sorry you had to leave this soon, and this way, I would have done anything to keep you here with us, to make you healthy again. I wish I was with you when your soul left your little weak body.
I now know you felt me near, when I visited you at the vets after your teeth surgery, you looked as if you were sleeping, and I had this odd feeling, that you had already left your body, to stay around and watch from up above…I had so much hope though, that you would wake up and recover with my care. Remember I told you “Mommy loves you, we think of you so much”. When I visited you the next morning, the body I gently petted and said “goodbye” to looked so relaxed, you had left that night, all alone, and I am left to accept that. “Why?” is only one of many questions I had… You told me you had to go, no “if only..” or “why”, it was your time. I pray that somehow your love and wisdom will fill my heart and make the pain go away…
Dear Malibu, Mommy will always love and miss you! You taught me so much, I didn’t know my boy was so wise… I will try to build a little bridge to get over the “black hole” I see when I think of your loss, and in time, I hope to get to think of the love that we shared, and the light that you are!!! I will try, for you, I know it’s your will.
Please when your journey’s over, and you’re finally at the Rainbow Bridge, let Mommy know! I’ll be looking for a sign, I know I will feel it that you reached your goal…
I will keep lightning the white and orange candles for you, as you asked me to, it’s the least I can do for my baby. I hope you feel it’s warmth and that my love for you will never ever let you go…
I can’t promise you I’ll never cry for you again, but I promise you to live up to what you want me to, and to feel your presence everywhere, please stay with us we need your love and wisdom…
Until we meet again, thank you my baby boy, my Malibu…
Love always and forever
