| I stood by your bed last night I came to have a peep I could see that your heart is still crying And that you find it hard to sleep I whined to you softly As you brushed away a tear It's me Dad ... I have not left you I am well. I am fine. I am still here I was close to you at breakfast I watched you as you made the coffee 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 ashes today You stroked my picture with such care I wanted to reassure you That I am not in there I walked with you outside the house As you turned the security gate key I gently put my paw on you I smiled and said it's me You looked so very tired As you sank into a chair I tried so hard to let you know That I was standing there You sat there very quietly, then smiled As the tear ran down your cheek, 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 God Bless to Hawk and Ruby I will see you both in the morning And Dad when the time is right for you To cross the bridge of the Great Divide I will rush across to meet you And we will once more stand side by side I have so many things to show you There is so much for you to see But Dad please be patient, live your journey out And then come home safely and lovinly to me ..... |
