"My sunshine doesn't come from the skies,
It comes from the love in my dog's eyes." (Unknown Poet)
Patch, well, he was my best friend. The whole family's best friend actually. A truly wonderful dog and very much missed to this day.
He didn't have the best start in life and the 2 years of treatment he had had prior to coming to us could have totally destroyed him, physically and mentally, but our little man came through this and with so much love in his beautiful heart, he let us in to his world and allowed us to become his very own guardian angels, and he, ours. We were so lucky to share 10 wonderful years with him.
Patch was as human as a dog can be (without all our faults and complexities). He understood every word you said to him, if you said "excuse me" when he was laying in front of the cupboard you needed to get into, he'd get up instantly. Keeping Dad company on the phone, lying at his feet, and when the conversation ended and Dad said "Bye", he stood up before Dad did, as he knew the call was over.
Another level of understanding from our Patch.
So gentle was he, that when one of our hamsters escaped and ran across the floor, he came into the living room to find us, and whined so we would follow him - only to find the hamster loose and unharmed. An amazing dog.
Patch left us so unexpectedly, our hearts broke into a million pieces that day. He lays at rest in a beautiful, peaceful pet cemetery, under a big old tree.
Til we meet again little man. Wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge. xxx

Well sweetie, I wanted to write more about our special boy. What about Squawk the budgie, who used to imitate Dad's horn on his bike? You knew Dad always sounded the horn when he got home from work, and rushed to the door to greet him...but Squawk teased you a lot and you thought it was Dad when it wasn't!
You were there when I came home from school, and knew if I had not had a good day, your big brown eyes were so comforting. When I started working, you were still there, after a hard day.
You were always there Patch, and we didn't want you to go, not ever. You were like a little old man in your later years, started turning grey and that was so cute. You were still our scruffy little man though, and always will be. xxx
♥♥♥♥♥ Beyond the Rainbow ♥♥♥♥♥
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.
(Written by CG - 1995)
♥♥♥ Have You A Dog In Heaven? ♥♥♥
Have you a dog in Heaven, Lord?
And do you pat its head?
Does he sit up and beg each night
Before he goes to bed?
Does he look up with shining eyes
When he sees Your smiling face?
Does he wag his stubby little tail
When he wants to run a race?
Have You a dog in Heaven, Lord?
Is there room for just one more?
Cause my little dog died today;
He'll be waiting at Your door.
Please take him into Heaven, Lord.
And keep him there for me,
Just feed him, pet him, love him, Lord,
Thats all he'll ask of Thee.
♥♥♥Our Memories Of You♥♥♥
(Written by Emma Doe)
Yesterday's gone
But we'll never forget-
We loved you a lifetime,
We love you yet.
A wish up to heaven
We fondly send-
Dear Patch, we remember-
Our darling, best friend.
Yesterday holds
Sweet memories of you-
Big soft, brown eyes,
Heart honest and true.
Your love and your loyalty
So freely you gave-
These memories of you
We share and save.
When Snowy, our hamster,
Nearly ran away,
You came to her rescue
And saved the day.
You took yourself up
To the park for a walk-
You barked at the horn,
But it was only Squawk!
You stood boldly by us,
You saw us through cares-
Yet you whimpered at thunder
And hid on the stairs!
You were our hero,
You came to our call-
If dogs are best friends,
You're the best of all.
Thank God for memories,
If memories are you-
That's all we have left
Our dear friend, so true!

WAVES OF TWO HEARTS
Waves will come and waves will go
Just like our tears that constantly flow
Awash, Afloat in this endless sea
With memories of how things used to be
Remembering the times we shared together
How i thought they would last forever
Waves that crash and Waves that Roll
Just like the hurt within our soul
Afloat and lost in this endless sea
How i wish back those times of you and me
A love so special , a love so rare
but in my heart you are always there
One day these Waves will calm
soothing the soul like a gentle balm
Waves that reach out to the shore
Bringing us together once more
Two hearts that hold so much love
Bought back together by a force from above
An endless journey we must fulfill
Waves be quiet, waves be still
( By Wendy Goodwin )

BUTTERFLIES
As love falls down from the sky,
It lands on the wings of a butterfly.
The butterfly sings it's song and rhyme,
And flies through the air,
Without a concept of time
It's a messenger of patience and change,
Flower to flower, it's odd, and strange.
The butterfly can transform it's world
Giving way to new beginnings, unfurled,
It is the keeper of transformation,
And flies on faith and imagination
The butterfly has no fear of change
It bravely escapes it's homemade cage.
To change, it knows that is necessary,
For all the burdens we need not carry
The butterfly soars, and merrily sings,
For without change, it couldn't grow wings.

What Face..............
What face shall I wear today
The sad one since you went away
The brave one which says I'm ok
The incomplete one since you couldn't stay
Unfortunately I dont have much choice
When I scream who hears my voice
When I cry people see my tears
When I talk people hear my fears
But what can be done. nothing can be said
To bring my baby back from the dead
So now each day I will carry the pain
Right here in my heart till I see you again.
( Unknown )

being to timelessness as it's to time ღ♥ღ
being to timelessness as it's to time,
love did no more begin than love will end:
where nothing is to breathe to stroll to swim
love is the air the ocean and the land
❦
love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear:
the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:
the truth more first than sun, more last than star.

Tomorrow
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
And said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love
But when I walked through heaven's gates I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His great golden throne
He said "This is eternity
And all I've promised you"
I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past
So when tomorrow starts without me
Don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me
I'm right here in your heart

~ Memories Build A Special Bridge ~
Our memories build a special bridge
when loved ones have to part
to help us feel we're with them still
and sooth a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love
and bring us peace of mind.

Don't believe what your eyes are telling you.
All they show is limitation.
Look with your understanding,
Find out what you already know,
And you'll see the way to fly.

LEGEND OF THE ANGEL FEATHER
FRANCIS J.WILSON
,"\",
"=\=" ,
."=\=" ,
.."=\=" ,
...."-\-"
........\
I am an angel feather,
Sent from God above,
To serve as a reminder
Of His most gracious love.
I'm from your guardian angel
That God assigned to you,
I fell out in the struggle
As your angel guarded you.
Each time you almost stumble,
Each time you nearly fall,
Thank God and all His angels
For answering your call.
*~☼~*~☼~*~☼~*~☼~*~☼~
The dark clouds may come to threat your sanctuary
And the black veil may skew your vision
But even in darkness, there will be light
Even in moments of desperation, the sun will still shine.
If anything, sunflowers still bloom at night.
Count only the sunny days, indeed.

An Angel had stood before me
and although I was'nt sure,
what i had lost from my Life
I was about to endour.
For yes this Angel I had with me
was someone I loved very dear,
I cant ever explain it to you
just how much i need them back here.
I never really new what I had
Until it was taken from me
But Lord all this pain inside
Its broke my heart to make me see
I now ask with all my heart
Lord please hear my plea
take care and watch over my Angel above
only then I will let you be!

I could'nt face the feeling
not seeing you again,
Each and Every day
these thoughts were eating at my brain.
So i went on the internet
and there was a gonetoosoon site
A place for all our Angels to meet
Morning, Noon and Night.
I have made new gonetoosoon Friends
they have become very dear,
they have explained it all to me
how i can keep my Angels near?
It's with Photos and Tributes
a candle lit with a prayer
some verses and some poems
for everyone to share.
I now know the main reason
i came on this gonetoosoon site
Its keeping our Angels Memoery alive
and i know thats got to be alright.

Memories From a Fading Room
The room is bare now that you've gone away,
no warmth is there to touch my heart turned cold.
Aware that time won't find me without you,
I try to set aside those memories old.
Running fast and far, I seek to find,
a haven, where thoughts of you recede,
a sanctuary for my ailing soul ~
one moment's joy from sowing grieving's seed.
And there beyond the past the future lies,
a shining castle by the sea of time,
calling softly to me as I run ~
luring me with peace I hope to find.
But as I cross the threshold, there I pause.
Sadness slips across my thoughts in great dismay,
for there your absence grows and echoes loudly ~
in empty rooms that take you far away.
No memories there to cherish and to hold ~
only space and wind and air, without you there.
Return, I must, to rooms where you still linger.
Without you, life would be too hard to bear.
The room is bare now that you've gone away,
but within my heart you'll always live and thrive.
Your memories will walk beside me always ~
to remind me you were once there by my side.
* ~ *
Give me the memories, for they have been left,
to bring me joy and laughter when you've gone.
I'll cherish them in sorrow, and in pleasure ~
and hold them closely 'til my life is done.
