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 she comes she 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 she sits in her easy chair,

forgets sometimes, and whispers low

to the dog who is not there.

And the little dog angel cocks 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,

She will hear a sound through the gathering dark

a little dog angel’s bark.

Forever Free

You’ll Meet Me in the Light

I know that you can’t see me.

But trust me I’m right here.

Although I’m up in heaven.

My love for you stays near.

 

So often I see you crying.

Many times you call my name.

I want so much to lick your face

And ease some of your pain.

 

I wish that I could make you see

That Heaven indeed is real.

If you could see me run and play

How much better you would feel.

 

But our loving God has promised me

That when the time is right,

You’ll step out of the darkness and

Meet me in the light

Walk With You

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
“It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.”
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I’m not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said “it’s me.”

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It’s possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, “I never went away.”

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew …
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over and I smile and watch you yawning
and say “goodnight, God bless, I’ll see you in the morning.”

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I’ll rush across to greet you and we’ll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out . then come home to be with me.
