Please...send me your poems

[maggiesmomma]

Hello, everyone... Over the past few months, I have read some wonderful poems sent in by many of you. So that I don't have to scroll back through so many posts, could you all send them to me in a post? I am "wallowing" right now and probably will be for quite some time...maybe forever, but I would love to have all of the poems in one place, where I could print them all out. Thank you so much. I will ALWAYS be...Maggiesmomma

Or, you could e-mail them to me at JHClem@webtv.net Also, if anyone wants to e-mail me personally, I would love that. Thanks, again...Jeanie

Here's one of my favorites that Ellen (Snowdrop's mom) posted:

From Your Pets in
To have loved and then said farewell is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head,
Fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you......
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly...
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.
I ask that you not grieve for the loss but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and
touched each other's lives. My life was fuller because you were there --
not as a master/owner, but as my friend.
Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among
the flowers and the sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth.
There is no sickness, no aching joints, no regrets and no ageing.
We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever.
Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself;
give it to another like me and then I will live forever.
For love never really dies, and you are loved
and missed as surely as we are.

I printed this one yesterday and put it up on the fridge right beside Jayden's picture.


I have one more.. I can't remember where I got this one from...

A 'SPECIAL PLACE'
You have a special place Dear Lord
that I know you'll always keep
A special place reserved for dogs
when they quietly fall asleep
With large and airy kennels
and a yard for hiding bones
With maybe a little babbling creek
that chatters over stones.
With wide green fields and flowers
for those who never knew
about running freely under
Your sky of perfect blue.
Lord,I know You keep this Special Place
And so to you I Pray,
For one Special Rottweiler
Who quietly died today
She was full of strength & love
and so very, very wise.
The puppy look she once had
Had long since left her eyes.
She is dearly missed my Lord
By a very good friend of mine.
She went to join her ancestors
To Your land that is Devine
So, speak to Crimmy softly please
And give her a warm hello.
She's a Special gift to you Dear Lord
From Brenda, who loved her so.
