Littlest Angel -- poem

Littlest Angel

God sent me an angel from heaven above

It's filled with complete unconditional love

It watches and follows wherever I go

If I'm happy or sad this little angel does know

My life at this moment seems filled with despair

But this littlest angel is always right there

It lifts up my spirits, gives me a reason to smile

Come sit with me angel, let me hold you awhile

It climbs up on my lap and licks away all my tears

One look in those eyes wipes away all my fears

For in those soft gentle eyes there's something I see

Which speaks to me silently "You always have me"

As those soft gentle kisses bring a smile to my face

And a love in my heart which can't be replaced

It continues to tell me in it's own special way

Of how much it loves me as it begins to say

"At night I will cuddle by your side while you sleep

My life is to love you, this promise I keep

I'll wake you come morning with kisses galore

You'll giggle and laugh and ask me for more

When sadness you feel or life lets you down

I'll do whatever it takes to wipe off your frown

I'll show you some tricks, I'll bring you my toy

Or rest my head in your lap, if this brings you joy

If sickness should keep you in bed for the day

I'll stay right beside you, we don't have to play

And if going for walks is something you do

I'll be your companion, take me with you

I'll try hard to show you my love is so strong

I'll try only to please you, I'll try not to do wrong

If a mistake I should make, then I ask this of you

Remember that angels can make mistakes too

I'll ask not much of you, it's for love that I yearn

Cause love's what God taught me to give in return

It's all unconditional & comes straight from the heart

And my promise I give you till death us do part"

So this is my story, one I wanted to share

Of my littlest angel who's always right there

This littlest angel that I'm so thankful of

Yes this littlest angel of unconditional love

Pawprints on my heart

The first time I laid eyes on you

I knew right from the start

That you were meant for me alone

You put your paw print on my heart.

You taught me unconditional love

You made me laugh and smile

A little clown of angel white

With all your grace and style

Uncanny how you seem to know

All my feelings deep inside

Whether happy, sad or in-between

There's nothing from you I can hide

Intelligence in those deep dark eyes

How could one be so smart

You knew just how to capture me

You put your paw print on my heart

A kiss, a whine, a growl, a bark

A language all your own

I understand your every word

With knowledge I've never known

I know that I am hooked for life

I will let nothing keep us apart

My friend, my pal, my soul mate

You put your paw print on my heart

I Saw an Angel

I saw an angel today, oh what a vision to see.

This beautiful angel sent only to me.

My eyes filled with tears at this glorious sight,

This angel so lovely made my heart feel so light.

I held an angel today, in my hands it did rest

Surely it had to be one of God's best.

So soft, so tender, so fragile it seemed

To hold such an angel was more than I dreamed.

I kissed an angel today, I just couldn't resist

As I looked at this sweetie I felt so much bliss

My heart over poured with a feeling of love

For this sweet little creature sent from Heaven above.

I lost an angel today; I guess God had other plans

This precious little life slipped right through my hands

My heart felt so empty as tears fell from my eyes

I didn't have the chance to say my good byes.

I saw an angel today, one I'll never forget

Those short precious moments I'll never regret

He took something with him on his journey above

A piece of my heart to remember my love.

Those Eyes

Welcome to my little home.

What's that? A dog you say?

Oh no I think you've got it wrong.

A dog? Oh my! No way!

Take a closer look my friend,

I think you'll be surprised.

Do you really think you see a dog,

Inside those loving eyes?

Let me fill you in a bit,

A secret I will share.

There's much love in those gentle eyes

And a heart that truly cares.

Many times life let me down

Many times I've cried.

I found it hard to carry on

No matter how hard I tried.

But then I found a special friend,

Who taught me how to love.

A different kind of love you see,

It came from Heaven above.

This love is unconditional

It has no limits or end.

It fills your heart with happiness,

The true meaning of a word called "friend".

This precious thing you call a dog

Is what I am speaking of.

For inside those gentle tender eyes,

Is a heart just filled with love.

I cried and tears were licked away,

Those kisses brought me joy.

That waggy tail and silly bark

Oh look she brought her toy!

A little clown in soft smooth fur

An angel in disguise.

A friend who loves me faithfully

Now that's what's in those eyes!

So next time you should see a dog,

Look closer my dear friend.

Look deep inside those soulful eyes

For true love that knows no end.

Waggy tails & puppy breath

Waggy tails and puppy breath,

Little barks and cries.

Roly poly balls of fur,

Contented little sighs.

Bouncing, jumping, running free

Tugging on a toy.

Look she's chewing on a bone

And now here comes the boy.

Growling, tugging playfully

Biting tails and ears.

Time to play a game of chase

Hearts that know no fear.

Once around the living room

Past the table too.

Stop! I see another toy

Looks like mommy's shoe.

Now a game of tug of war

The shoestrings are the best!

All this play is tiring

I think it's time to rest.

Tired eyes and little yawns

There's silence .. not a sound.

Where could they have gotten too?

Guess I'll look around.

Balls of fur curled into one

Can't tell who is who.

Puppies sleeping peacefully

Right next to mommy's shoe.

Our Precious Time

From the first day that our eyes met

I knew you were the one

Who would give me love and special care

Until my time on earth was done.

I tried my best to make you smile

My heart belonged to you

In return you gave me so much love

And a life of comfort too.

We made so many memories

As time went quickly by

And now as I look at your face

I see a tear formed in your eye.

I know this is so hard for you

To have to say good bye

I wish that I could stay right here

And never leave your side.

But God has other plans you see

He's calling me back home

Where happily I'll run again

In His fields of green I'll roam

But I will wait for you my friend

When your time here is done

You'll hear my happy familiar bark

As into your arms I run.

So let me lick away those tears

And try to ease your heart

My life with you was a happy one

But it's time for us to part.

When you think of me as days go by

Try not to shed those tears.

Just remember all the precious times

We shared through all the years.

If I could do my life all over

It's you I'd choose again

So 'til we meet again one day

Remember me .. my friend.

Mommy Smiles Again

Listen Lord … she’s crying again,

This really breaks my heart.

She doesn’t understand … she has no clue

As to why we had to part.

I used to kiss away her tears

On days that she felt sad.

But here I am … she’s all alone

And I just feel so bad.

Listen Lord … she needs me there

She can’t do this alone.

I want to lick away her tears

I want to go back home.

She gave me love … she cared for me

She tended to my needs.

And now she cries … her poor heart breaks

She calls my name and pleads.

Listen Lord … do you not care?

How could you let her down?

Her smiling eyes and cheerful face

Now only wears a frown.

What’s that You say? You’ll let me go?

You’ll let me make her smile?

Oh thank you Lord … I’ll be right back

It will only take awhile.

Hello it’s me … do you feel me near?

I came to say good bye.

I miss you too … I love you so

Please mommy don’t you cry.

We’ll meet again … I promise you

Together we will play.

In a place that has no pain or tears

And with you I will stay.

So let me lick away your tears

Just this one last time.

Then smile for me … for I live on

In your heart my love will shine.

He gave us time to know great love

He gave us time to be

And now He calls me home to Him

Where again I roam pain free.

So mommy dry those so sad eyes

And think of me with smiles.

We shared much love … we were best friends

If only for awhile.

And ‘til that day when we both meet

At the garden’s golden gate

I’ll live inside your loving heart

I promise you I’ll wait.

What’s that I see … is it a smile?

You heard me! Yes! Amen!

Now I must leave … my task is done

My mommy smiles again.

Whelping Time

The time draws near, all things prepared.

Feelings rage inside.

Excitement, fear, worry and joy

You’re in for an emotional ride.

The mom is pacing back and forth

Panting and digging her nest.

The time she chose was not your pick

Looks like there’ll be no rest.

The coffee’s brewed, the phone is near

Vet’s number on speed dial.

Let’s hope the night goes easily

Fingers crossed with a wink and a smile.

Looks like the mom is pushing now

The bubble starts to appear.

A few more pushes and a cry

The puppy’s almost here.

Remove the sac and cut the cord

And clear the fluids too.

Mom cleans the pup, it is a girl

And now for number two.

Mom rests a bit as you stand watch

Waiting for the second round.

The puppy suckles peacefully

Oh what a beautiful sound.

And now it’s time, mom’s pushing hard

This one takes way too long.

Mom’s getting tired, she needs your help.

Let’s pray nothing goes wrong.

Mom looks so scared, this pup is weak.

It now depends on you.

You reach and hold and gently pull

Dear God please guide me through.

Once in your hands your work begins

To keep this pup alive.

You do your best, you give your all

To help this pup survive.

At last you hear those tiny cries,

That sound that brings you joy.

Mom looks at you with much concern

As you hand over her baby boy.

The night was long, two more were born

Mom rests with her litter of four.

The stress, the joy, the tears of both

You swear there’ll be no more.

But once the whelping time is done

And mom and pups are fine

The look of love seen in her eyes

Brings a feeling so divine.

Yes breeding pups can be a joy

When all the work is done.

But never let yourself believe

That it is always fun.

There are those times when things go wrong

When one you cannot save.

It breaks your heart, it brings you pain

You no longer feel so brave.

But when things go right, as most will do

That's when you are surprised

At the love you feel inside your heart

As you look in those puppies eyes.

Within This Heart

Within this heart lies faithfulness.

For you alone I live.

Within this heart lies devotion.

To you alone I give.

Within the heart lies loyalty.

Depend on me my friend.

Within this heart lies a love so deep.

With each breath, each beat, ‘till the end.
