With all of
my heart, I believe it is true
that there
is a heaven for animals, too.
Sometimes I
think that they already know,
all of the
animals ... just where they'll go.
Haven't you
noticed them drift off and stare,
lift their
soft noses, and gave into air?
I think
that maybe it's heaven they see ...
beyond what
their wishes
could wish
it to be.
When dogs
get to heaven
they're
welcomed by name,
and angels
know every dog's
favorite
game.
They race to
the corners of
heaven and
back,
and
everyone gets a turn
leading the
pack.
When
kitties arrive on their soft kitty paws
they are
even more lovely to look at because
when they
bathe up in heaven, their fur is so fine -
they
stretch out their toes and just let themselves shine.
They perch
on a limb of their very own tree.
It is
amazing how far they can see.
Then they
play and they purr, and they yawn and they nap
in their
own ray of light in their favorite lap.
Horses in
heaven are never alone,
and grass
is much sweeter than
grass here
at home.
Whenever
they want to, horses
can snack;
as soon as they nibble,
grass grows
itself back.
Sometimes a
horse just wants to have fun,
so he and
his friends kick their hooves up and run.
When it is
thundering high in the sky,
horses in
heaven are galloping by.
Days often
end
in
fantastical hues -
marmalade
oranges ...
butterfly
blues.
Sometimes
at twilight,
in indigo
skies,
animals
gather
to play
with fireflies.
Sometimes
they dance
with the
angels, or sing.
Heaven
changes everything.
But the
love that you have for your animal friends
is always
the same - that love never ends.
It makes
itself known in all kinds of ways.
It floats
all around then, or settles and stays.
And when
angels whisper in animals ears,
it is your
voice that each animal hears.
You'll grow
older; I will, too.
That's what
people always do.
But when
you meet your friends again,
they'll see
you as they saw you then.
And you'll
find they always knew
how much
they were loved ...
and how
much they loved you.
