Bullbreedlover Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Aust/NZ Ch Castlecliff Gingerbread Man(Imp NZ) 1-06-2003 - 14-05-2011 I'll lend for you a little while, A champion he said. For you to love while he lives, And mourn for when he's dead. It may be one or seven years, Or twenty-two or three, But, will you, till I take him back, Take care of him for me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief, You'll have the lovely memories, As solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, Since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught on earth, I want this dog to learn. I've looked the wide world over, In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd lives lanes, I have selected you. Now will you give him lots of love, Nor think the labour vain, Nor hate me when I come, To take him back again. I fancied that I heard you say, Lord thy will be done. For all the joy this dog will bring, The risk of grief I'll run. I'll shelter him with tenderness, I'll love him while I may. And for the happiness that I've known, Forever grateful stay. But should you call for him, Much sooner than I planned, I'll brave the bitter grief that comes, And try to understand. "And an angel came and laid her hand upon his weary head" The moon shines brighter this mid autumn eve For a beautiful dog star was given his angel wings Debbie and Mike Stonebridge Bullmastiffs and Bulldogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hortfurball Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 So sorry for your loss your choice of poem brought tears to my eyes What a lovely looking boy, run free Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabel964 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I captured him in my artwork His paw print is tattooed on my arm Wow, you are very talented and you have these as treasured memories. I can see Alex was a very special dog, and he has a lovely gorgeous face in his photos and pictures. That is a lovely poem in your first post too. I have not seen that one before. I believe that every minute of happiness with my girls is worth the terrible grief I will experience when they go. No, it doesn't get easier, I have never lost a child but I'm sure its like losing a child - its just devastating. I send you hugs. May the time come you think of him fondly and smile without the tears soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
