God saw you (she/he) were getting tired
God saw you were getting tired when a cure was not to
be.
He closed his arms around you and whispered “Come to
me”.
In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away.
Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to
stay.
But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully, free from
pain,
we should not wish you back to suffer that again.
So treasure him, Lord, in your garden of rest.
For here on earth, she/he was the best.

Another, slightly different version:
God saw she/he was getting tired, and a cure was not

So He put His arms around her/him and whispered, “come
with me”.
With tearful eyes I/we watched her/him suffer and
slowly fade away,
Although I/we loved her/him dearly, I/we could not
make her/him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, playful paws were put
to rest.
God broke my heart/our hearts to prove to me/us, He
only takes the best.

I am gone
I am gone, not by your side, or so I’ve heard you say …
but I am with you more than you know, each and every
day.
I am there each morning, as you rise to the morning
you dread,
I am nestled up beside you each night when you go to
bed.
I watch while you are sleeping or lying there awake,
I’m with you when you ask, “How much more can I take?”.
I watch with love each time I see you wipe the tears
away …
I will always be here for the one who thinks of me
each day.
I see you smile seldom, which is just a way to hide,
for I know the deep exhausting pain that you feel
inside.
I watch you gather all my things to keep the memories
alive,
I also know it’s the only thing that helps you to
survive.
I wish you knew that I was there and I know the pain
you feel …
I know you have a broken heart that time will never
heal.
Just know that I am with you … We really aren’t apart,
I’m in every breath you take … Nestled in your heart.

Today you did the bravest thing
Today you did the bravest thing, today you set me free.
Thank you for showing me the ultimate dignity.
I’m sorry that my leaving has broken your kind heart.
But we knew this day would come, the day we had to
part.
Don’t think I did not hear every last word you said.
Don’t think I did not fell your trembling hand touch
my head.
Today you did the bravest think, today you set me free.
Thank you for a wonderful life, thank you for loving
me.

If I could visit heaven
If I could visit heaven, even for a day,
maybe for a moment, the pain would go away.
I'd put my arms around you, and whisper words so true,
that living life without you is the hardest thing to do.
No matter how I spend my days, no matter what I do,
no morning dawns or evening falls, when I don't think
of you.

Zitate
Der
einzige Tag, an dem Du bereuen wirst,
dass
du dir einen Hund angeschafft hast,
ist
der Tag, an dem er von Dir gehen muss.
(M.
Finn-Drechsel)
*****
Wenn
sie jung sind, gebe ihnen Zeit zu spielen!
Wenn
sie Erwachsen werden, gebe ihnen Aufgaben!
Wenn
sie alt werden, gebe ihnen Ruhe und Geborgenheit!

Eine Leihgabe (2)
„Ich
will dir ein Hund für eine Weile leihen“, sagte ein Engel. „Damit du ihn lieben
kannst, solange er lebt und trauern, wenn er tot ist. Ich kann dir nicht versprechen,
dass es bleiben wird, weil alles von der Erde zurückkehren muss.
Wirst
du auf ihn aufpassen, für mich, bis ich ihn zurückrufe? Er wird dich bezaubern,
um dich zu erfreuen und sollte sein Bleiben nur kurz sein, du hast immer die
Erinnerungen, um dich zu trösten.
Willst
du ihm alle deine Liebe geben und nicht denken, dass deine Arbeit umsonst war?
Und mich auch nicht hassen, wenn ich das Tier zu mir Heim hole?“
Mein
Herz antwortete: “Lieber Engel, dies soll geschehen! Für all die Freuden, die
dieses Tier bringt, werde ich das Risiko der Trauer eingehen. Ich werde es mit
Zärtlichkeit beschützen und es lieben, solange ich darf. Und für das Glück, das
wir erfahren durften, werde ich für immer dankbar sein.
Auch,
solltest du es früher zurückrufen, viel früher, als geplant, werde ich die
tiefe Trauer meistern und versuchen, zu verstehen. Wenn mein geliebter Hund
diese Welt voll von Spannung und Zwietracht verlässt, schicke mir doch bitte
eine andere bedürftige Seele, um sie ihr Leben lang zu lieben.”
