I'm sorry to read of Digby's loss.

 

I hope these may bring you a little comfort

 

DON'T CRY FOR WHEN I'M GONE

Three score years are given to men,

But ours is a much briefer span.

So, though I give you all my heart,

The time will come when we must part.

But all around, you will see

Creatures that speak to you of me;

A tired horse, a hunted thing,

A sparrow with a broken wing...

Pity and help, (I know you will),

And, somehow, I will be with you still.

I shall know, although I'm gone,

The love I gave you lingers on.

 

 

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

 

 

 

Last Night.

 

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 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 parcels, I wish 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 towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.

I gently laid my paw on you, I smiled and said, "It's me."

You looked so very tired and sank into a chair;

I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing 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 that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning,

And say "Good night, 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, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see;

Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.

I'm so sorry. They leave such a big hole. It's always sad when they leave a furry friend pining as well.
