Remember Our Love

I was chosen today
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry

And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone

When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.

Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.

A Pet's Prayer to St. Peter

I have travelled far to reach this Pearly Gate
But I do not want to wander beyond this place
I just need to rest awhile for my friend I wait

Please let them know I love them still
Let them know that I understand
what they did they did with love

With my body gone my spirit flew
on the wings of a dove
to my Creator's Heaven above

Now I ask that I may wait
I will lay quietly here by the gate
For if I entered now without my friend
it wouldn't be Heaven at all

Littlest Angel of Mine
(by Terri Onorato)

I was adrift on waves of feelings swirling circles about my mind
wondering if I had the strength to decide it was your time.

Did I have the right to make this choice that would change our lives forever,
did I have the will to sacrifice our precious time together?

Was I wrong in thinking of myself while you grew so frail and weak,
was I selfish in my desperate need to have you here with me to keep?

Into your bright green eyes I searched and found within your soul,
the echo of a far-seen wisdom the kind which only angels know.

You gently rocked my broken heart and with angelic calm
you lifted all the guilt I felt for wanting to hold on.

You showed me that the choice with which I felt so wrecked and torn
lay upon a path God paved the day that you were born.

Somehow you made me understand the choice was never mine,
it had been appointed long before, in another place and time.

So as I lay you down to sleep your eternal spirit shines
and our paths will cross again someday littlest angel of mine.

When God made the earth and the sky,
The flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
And all the birds and bees.
And when His work was finished
Not one was quite the same,
so He said: “I`ll walk this earth of mine and give each one a name.”
And so He travelled land and sea,
And everywhere He went
A little creature followed Him
Until its strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth
And in the sky and sea,
The little creature said:
“Dear Lord, there`s not one left for me?”
The Father smiled and softly said:
“I`ve left you to the end,
I`ve turned my name back to front and called you

DOG my friend.”
