A Friend
by Monique Eniero
Sometimes if
The amount of loneliness
In your life is big,
All you need is a dog
To share your thoughts with.
You may not understand them
When they try to speak;
But one thing's for sure,
Their love for you was never poor.
Even if they're old and bare,
They'll always care for you.
They'll be your companion,
'Til their life ends.
And when their day comes
To leave your sight,
They hope you were satisfied with them.
One thing that's always true,
Their love for you was always there.
And every day,
It was always true,
They had a special place
In their heart
Just for you.

SOFT PAW
Roderick Hill
Down cast eyes, the minute cries,
the elegant footstep slowly dies.
The silence stops, now you are gone,
the sadness starts where you once shone.
Ambling comfortably through the home,
seeing no boundaries alone he roams.
Soft paw sleeping in the afternoon sun,
time moves on and a life is run.
he moved with freedom, as the endless sky,
Then died to sleep, to rest to fly.
We cling to the moments, we cherish the past,
The petals of the flower finally cast.
But now he is roaming in the stars
His graceful spirit fleets above ours,
The tears may fall, like crystal rain,
Yet he is happy and alive and free again.
So lift our souls, cast our smiles,
Cheer our hearts and laugh a while,
In the eternal blue he watches, it seems,
The hopes, the fears, the lives, the dreams.
Waves break loud on a far sea-shore,
Where blew a flower, may a flower no more
Brake in the sun till the run breaks down
and death shall have no dominion.
Precious Love
The agony is so great...
and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much...
I would not hurt so much.
But God knows I would not want to diminish
that precious love...
By one fraction of an ounce.
I will hurt...
And I will be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of my love.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.

The Other Side
I have cried a river for you
So you can swim to the other side
Just follow that stick with
My last hug and kiss
Swim baby swim
To get to the other side
Where the grass is always green
The sun always shines and
Will warm you tired bones
Swim baby swim
A treat is always waiting
And play time never stops
Just remember to look for me
When I take my final swim
I will see your tail a wagging
Can't wait for my licks from you
When I get to the other side
--D Whyten, for Hogan 03/12/08
From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "That's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent or the costs involved for "just a dog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and, in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.
Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me, and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile....because they "just don't understand."

THERE IS A NEW STAR SHINING IN THE SKY TONIGHT...♥
by Sarah Hartwell
There is an old belief that the stars shining in the night sky are the
spirits of those who have died.♥ They have shed their earthly bodies and
exchanged them for bodies made of light;♥ thousands upon thousands of our
dear departed friends all promoted to glory in the night sky.♥ There is
another saying that the brightest flame burns the shortest.♥
My friend, you were the brightest star in my own universe.♥ While I burn
on, my flame dimmed by grief and despair at your passing,♥ the stars are
watching me.♥ They are too far away for me to touch,♥ just as you have
gone somewhere I cannot follow until my own star-time comes.♥ They
cannot be held close for comfort,♥ just as I can no longer hold you
close,♥ though I held you close to comfort you in your final hours.♥ We
were together for such a short time,♥ but the stars will burn forever.♥
One day I will grow tired of this earthbound body,♥ my own star-time will
come and my spirit will soar into the sky to burn with all those friends
who have gone before me.♥ On the inky cloth of space we will be reunited
in constellations of joy.♥ Until then, my flame burns low and dim and
cold without you.♥ Through my tears I look upwards to see if you are
watching me and what do I see?♥
There is a new star shining in the sky tonight.♥
JAKE WITH LOVE
Unconditional Love.♥♥
When a dog offers you his heart
Accept it with a smile
For his love will last a lifetime -
Which is such a little while.♥♥
When a dog offers you his heart
Take it gladly and with pride
For he will be a faithful friend
Ever by your side.♥♥
A dog loves you because you're you -
Not for how you speak or what job you do
You could be short, tall, thin or fat
Or ugly as sin, he doesn't care about that.♥
A dog knows if you're good or bad
He can see inside your soul
When he decides you're okay
To earn your love is his main goal.♥♥
When you're sad, he'll comfort you
And kiss away each tear
You may even wake up in the morning
With a cold nose in your ear♥♥
.
When eventually the time comes
And the lights in his eyes dim
A new star will shine in Heaven
In remembrance of him.♥♥
You'll gaze up at the midnight sky
And you will hear him say -
"I'm so glad you were my human
We'll meet again some day!"♥♥
So, if this poem has caused a tear to fall
That's because you love the dog who's giving you his all
Go travel on together, happily paw in glove
He's the only one who'll ever give you unconditional love.♥♥
When a dog offers you his heart
Accept it with a smile
For his love will last a lifetime -
Which is such a little while.♥♥
