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 so 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 packages…
I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my urn today…
I knew you really cared.
I want to re-assure you…
that I’m not really there.
I walked with you to the house…
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 your 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 finally over…
I smile and watch you yawning…
And say “goodnight…
God bless you…
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…
there is so much to see…
Be patient…live your journey out…
then come on home with me…
I know you’re with me baby girl…
I love you…
You are MY girl Bay Bay,
