God Bless You BabooThey say memories are golden,
well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
The Rainbow Bridge
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
GOD wouldn't allow dogs to be excluded from Heaven. After all, HE created them to be man's companions in life, why would he separate them in death?"

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these."
--George Washington Carver
WORRY ... is self forced meditation on defeat.Be a victor, not a victim!
Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you handle it.
A thought becomes an action
An action becomes a habit
a habit becomes a lifestyle.
As you think, so you will become.
