We light a small candle for our friends who have passed the Rainbow Bridge and awaits us. Always missed and loved, and forever in our hearts.

When tomorrow starts without me

and I'm not here to see

if the sun should rise and find your eyes

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 you think of me

I know you'll miss me too

When tomorrow starts without me

don't think we're far apart

for every time you think of me

I'm right there in your heart

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 out 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 put 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 everyday.

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 almost over... I smile and watch you yawning

and say "goodnight, 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.
