Bear by Brenda Shultz / Mom, Dad & Brittany

Bear,

You came into our lives 12 1/2 yrs ago. I remember that you looked like a cute cuddley black bear. How you loved to run, jump and play. How you loved those car rides, boat rides and going up north. We took you every where we could with us. When one of us were sick you would be right by our side. What a good friend you are. We held on to you for as long as we could but we knew it was time. When you left us you took a part of us with you. The house seems empty without you. As we wipe the tears away we know your in a good place. WE WILL MISS YOU BOO BOO.
WE love you so much.

Don’t Grieve Too Long”

Don’t grieve too long, for now I’m free.
I’ve followed the path God has set for me.
I ran to Him when I heard His Call.
I swished my tail and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To bark, to love, to romp or play.
Games left unplanned must stay that way.
I found such peace, it made my day.

My parting has left you with a void.
Please fill it with remembered joy,
A friendship shared, your laugh, a kiss.
Oh yes, these things I too shall miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life has been full, you’ve given so much,
Your time, your love and gentle touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your head and share with me,
God wanted me. He set me free!
