Some animals are part of the family.
Although compared to humans,
Some animal’s lives are very brief,
When you lose one as a pet,
It can leave you full of grief.
Many animals are treated like children,
Rather than household pets,
Being pampered and spoilt,
With thousands paid out at the Vets.
Some animals are part of the family,
A precious gift full of love,
We will miss them just like people,
When they go to the heavens up above.

So much heartache and pain is left behind.
You hear a voice whispering your name,
As if your loved one was here still,
You see the single white feather,
Laying upon the window sill.
You have been waiting for a sign,
Since the day on which they passed on,
And you feel at ease right now,
With confirmation their soul hasn’t gone.
We all need that little inspiration in life,
When a loved one sadly dies,
Just to give us peace and comfort,
Although each day we may regularly cry.
For those of us who believe in spirit,
The world can so often feel so unkind,
For those passed over are now at peace,
But so much heartache and pain is left behind.

In my heart forever and ever.
Before I go to sleep at night,
I talk to you in prayer,
Although you’re no longer around physically,
I sense you are still there.
It’s hard for those who have never suffered,
Any loss to be able to understand,
To no longer say good night in person,
Or even to just hold your hand.
To no longer feel you in bed beside me,
Or have our regular embrace,
To just feel the touch of your comfort,
And the stroke of your hand upon my face.
I live life full of memories,
Of our many good times together,
And you will always have a special place,
In my heart forever and ever.

Throughout life
Throughout life we may endure,
Some times of heartache and pain,
Often with depressive reactions,
Which makes them feel insane.
The loss of a loved one passing away,
Hurts deep within there is no doubt,
Many bottle up their feeling,
Instead of talking and letting it out.
Life can often be a struggle,
Which can make you stressed,
You may need to speak to professionals,
If you start to feel depressed.
There is no need to suffer in silence,
To act okay or just to pretend,
Everybody suffers a loss in their lives,
Whether it’s an animal, family or a friend.
It’s a human instinct,
To try to cope by yourself,
But this could end up with implications,
With you suffering with your health.

The weather makes no choices.
The rain keeps falling down,
Onto the sodden ground,
The puddles getting deeper,
With the pitter patter sound.
The misty clouds gathering over,
Making the sky all grey,
It looks as if it’s going to stay,
We will probably have rain showers all day.
The umbrellas turned inside out,
By the gusts and windy breeze,
Some people are hiding,
Until the bad weather starts to ease.
Many people full of the flu symptoms,
With lots of coughs and colds,
The weather makes no choices,
Of the young and the old.
If you are going outside today,
Please wrap up warm and tight,
And you will feel much better,
When you snuggle up in bed tonight.

The mist.
The mist along the mountainside,
Looks like the morning dew,
You are unable to see the tree tops,
No sun is shining through.
The sprinkles of rain is falling,
You can feel it in the air,
It will not be long now,
There will be rain showers everywhere.
The mist will help to feed the wildlife,
And help the plants to grow,
So the animals can store some food,
Ready for the winters snow.
The mist can look so eerie,
As you can’t see very far,
And you feel lost when walking,
Because you can’t see exactly where you are.
