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 gave a littel sigh
as wiped away a tear.
“it’s me. I havn’t left you.
I’m well. I’m fine. I’m here.”
I was close to you at breakfast
I watched you pour your tea.
You were thinking of many times
your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shop today
your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels-
I wished 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 toward the house
as you fumbed 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 very hard to let
you know that I was there.
It’s possible for me to be so near you every day 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 the evening I was very close to you.
When the day is over I smile and watch you yarwning 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 there side by side. I have so many things to show you there is much for you to see. Be patient live your journey out then come home to be with me.
I love you so much Scarlet and you are forever in my heart you will never be forgotten and when ever I feel down I read this peom and it reminds me that you are always with me Bye baby.
Love from me
Olivia
