Forever Daisy

By the gates of heaven you'll wait

for me,

wagging your tail in delight,

howling to greet me and I will smile.

By the gates of heaven you'll wait 

for me,

the way you waited every day 

for me to return home,

celebrating my arrival ,

your happiness innocent and unbridled. 

I see you in every corner,

in every step I walk alone.

I celebrate sun kissed days

we had,

a life shared,

sweet memories that live in my heart.

By the gates of heaven,

I will lay down beside you,

and roll with you among the clouds.

I will hold you,

the way I held you in my arms today

when we said goodbye.

Until then,

swim in aquamarine pools,

run in sunflower fields

chasing lizards and butterflies.

Run through the fields of heaven,

until we meet once again.

Our beloved Daisy passed away yesterday. We thought she was going in for surgery to pull an infected tooth. The infection was a symptom of Leukemia. From Saturday to Monday morning the vet saw a major decline. He said the right thing to do is to let her go. Sadly and devastated we said goodbye. My husband and I held her in our arms. She was a part of our family. She brought us so much happiness . We will miss her and she will live in our hearts forever. So many have come here and left comments how she made them smile. That's the way she made us smile every day.
