They Say Time Heals

 
“The song is ended but the melody lingers on.”

                                           Quote By_Irving Berlin


Its time to turn the page and to end this chapter,
      let all the long years of love hide away;
safe in my heart and soul for all of my days left,
           it was sad to say farewell to my pet.

Lots of buried memories of those who died came, 
      of other pets, of my mom, dad, grandma;
of my baby, my love, and my sister,
           of family and friends washed over me again.

I have been so sad these past days with tears falling,
      but, I am coming to terms with it now;
God gave me this kitty to love and to cherish,
           when she got sick he took her to heaven.

Time for me to recover and to be better,
      to fill my days with good work and good deeds;
and be the best I can be, healthy, and beautiful,
           to be an inspiration to others.

Yes, time to recover from all the grief of deaths,
      it is not forgetting but moving on;
each person, each pet lives on in my heart always,
          and will until the day God takes me home.

So, I am putting my faith in God-  he is the gift,
       I will take his hand and he will lead me;
he knows the best way that I must go in this life,
           and he will be holding me in his hands.
