In Beloved Memory

I know there does exist the place
called 'The Rainbow Bridge'
that is spoken of by poet's pen.

I've cried a million tears it seems
since you left. My heart broke
knowing it was time for us to
say goodbye.

Somehow I must now find a way
to let your memories become sweet
and your physical absence
to become less haunting.

Until I do, in my heart,
you will only be in the next room,
laying in the hall, or will soon be
watching me as I work in the kitchen.

I see you everywhere in my minds eye.
I expect you to drop by for one
of our Mommy/Tinker chats
and my heart breaks again when you
do not appear before me.

Yesterday, I got a condolence card
from your Doctor and his staff.
On its cover
was the poem Rainbow Bridge.

Tonight, I was finally
able to read it all the way through.

I was standing in the kitchen and
as I finished reading, I placed their gift
upon the vacant spot where you always
pearched yourself to watch me.

It gave me a peace as I placed it
there.  The kitchen lighting fell upon
the picture of the rainbow, making
it appear to glow as it sat in your
favorite place to be in the house
when your day was done.

I wandered around our home trying to
keep the tears again from spilling
but I kept finding myself drawn to the
computer where so often you laid beside
me on the 'L' of my desk.

I knew the time had come for me
to try somehow to write my heart.
I did a music search for
'Rainbow Bridge'
and was really surprised to see the
title come before me as a choice.

I had never heard the beautiful words
playing behind my own until a few
moments ago.

It seems tonight my darling Tinker
we talk to each other, for the song
began to speak to me as yourself
and for the first time in a long time
I could feel that you no longer suffer.

You have arived at Rainbow Bridge
and you are eager to explore the beauty
of your new home away from me for awhile.

You will always be so special to my heart
I will always love you.

I released you from my arms so you
would no longer have to leave me
a little more and more each day.

I release you from my tears
so you can rest in peace.

In Loving Memory Of

Tinker

My heart wrapped in a ball
of black and white fur and
beautiful eyes.

For twelve years you shared
my joys, fears, and sorrows.

You will remain forever in my heart
My beautiful Tinker Dink.

Rainbow Bridge
