Poem dedicated to our Setters at Rainbow's End.

[Denise Hawkes]

A while ago my only girl Bonnie passed away. Whilst sitting by her grave, these words came to me, as I was just overwhelmed by the loss of her but the joy that I had from her life, and how she had changed my heart, for the better, and hopefully made me a better person!

A Change of Heart

I asked of God, ‘Will I see her again?’

He smiled, replying ‘Be still ,my friend’

‘In your dreams, forever more,

Every night, she’s there, be sure.’

 

I asked of God, ‘Will I hold her once more?’

Grinning, he laughed, ‘ your heart’s held  in  her paws!’

‘Rest assured, it will always be!’

Words to me so Heavenly

 

I asked of God, ‘Will I hear her again?’

He frowned and said, ‘This isn’t the end!’

‘You  hear her through life’s gentle thoughts,

And picture the precious journey you walked.’

 

‘Reflecting my Name, she taught you well,

My gift to you, a beautiful  girl.

Sent from  me, she changed your heart,

And both in me, you’re not apart. ‘

 

‘’Now you know , be loyal, give love, be a friend,

Through your life’s journey, do this, again and again.

And always remember, that right from the start,

A miracle began,

For we changed your heart.

[Denise Hawkes]

Hi Diane. I'm so sorry to hear that you have had one pass over this week. You and your family are in my thoughts. I bope the poem gives some comfort. Its would have been my girls 15th birthday tomorrow so thats tough. But on a lighter note my neighbours have just bought a puppy. They tell me they miss Bonnie being at the end of the garden for a fuss !! How lovely .

That was great it made me cry and remember my special boy Radleey who I lost on April 5th 0f 2013. They are hard to lose but remember how much joy they gave us the short time we have them. I do believe that someday we'll see all our setters. Thanks for the poem.
