I Am Not Gone
I'm in the gentle breeze that touches your face on a still, windless day,
I'll show myself in the clouds romping across the sky in play.
I'm still here in your heart space, gently reminding you that I’ll always be
In the corner of the room, or sitting by my bowl, waiting to eat.
I'm still here though the old me you cannot see
But I’m with my two sisters, much older than me
They came to sit with me on that day you let me go
They took me by the paw and gently took me home
Across the rainbow bridge and through the light
Into God’s kingdom, and oh, what a sight
No more hurt, no more pain on this side
Love knows no bounds up here where his peace resides
Even though I loved you beyond words and so sad to go
We all knew it was time for me to leave this world
I’ll save you a place and on the day you finally come
We three will meet you too, and gently lead you home
