Something happened that day,
I still can not explain,
I know God stepped in for a while,
To lessen, to ease the pain.
Thats how I accepted,
what I knew I had to do,
to ease all your suffering,
in the name of love for you.
How we carried you so gently,
it would be your final ride.
I sat so close and held you,
I never left your side.
We bore you home so quiet,
and buried you so near,
with you my heart I sent
and I cannot find it here.
For if God lives above us,
I pray He grants me peace,
and if he stepped in that day,
He must now give release,
that I may go on in my life,
and find a lasting peace.
Rudie by Chal / Chalrei
I knew your sight was dimming,
the things you could not hear,
and if pain held you quiet,
I refused to see it there.
So many times I prayed to God
To grant a painless end,
Could he send his angels
To take you while you slept.
These loving hands that held you,
Known to you alone,
would hold you this one last time,
when he gently took you home.
Go now my loving Rudie,
I know there is no pain or fear,
Yet I grieve for being left behind
with your memory all too clear
I see at times a special toy,
A picture of your face
I look again and I still cry,
I will never be the same.
