If Tears Could Build A Stairway (the entire poem)

(I never knew there was more to the first paragraph!! It's beautiful!!)

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you-
Noone can ever know.

But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times,
life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
I plege to you today-
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.

Precious Little Friend

I heard this the other day somewhere. I'm not sure if the paragraphs are right or anything, but this is what I heard, and I couldn't help but cry when I heard it.... and I'll probably cry when I write it down! I am not sure who sings it either, so if you know let me know so I can write it here.



Precious little friend, It's time to rest your weary head, one last time.
And though I know it's time, to say goodbye, it's breaking my heart in two.
I just hope you know how much I love you so, precious little friend.

I know your time has come, so thank you for the love you freely gave, oh how you loved. I tried to think of how it used to be. Back when you still could see, how you bounced and played and watched the squirls all day. precious little friend.

So goodbye my little friend. I'll stay beside you 'till the end, I'll see it through.
Just like you stayed right by my side, everyday of your sweet little life.
I will hold you close and whisper in your ear, my precious little friend.

I can't believe your gone, I look for you all day long and try to be strong.
Oh what I'd give to touch your sweet soft fur and hold you just one more time.
But it cannot be. I have to set you free, precious little friend.
I wouldn't trade the time we had for anything, Goodbye my little friend.

Snickers - I lovingly long for the day when I can think of you and- smile and not cry tears of sadness!

A Glimpse of the Rainbow Bridge
Author unknown

Was it today; yesterday; a week; a month ago?
There are no days; there are no nights since my furchild died.
I reach to pet my furry friend who is no longer here.
My heart is broken; my arms are empty; how many tears I've cried.

I leave the house, into the lane we always walked together.
The rain is falling. I notice not. Just more tears on my face.
She used to lead me down the lane. Her spirit leads me still.
But we go a different way to a very strange and different place.

I stand before a rustic bridge I've never seen before.
I stop. I know I'm not to cross. But why, I want to know?
And then the rain suddenly stops. I look up into the clouds.
I look down. The bridge is gone and in its place is a rainbow.

I look across the Rainbow Bridge and see a joyful sight;
Thousands of healthy furchildren playing with my beloved pet.
I want to run and love her, but I'm rooted to the spot.
She looks and wags her tail and I hear her bark, "Not yet."

And then her bark turns to a voice and I hear her say,
"You cared for me, you played with me and loved me to the end.
I'm healthy now, don't cry for me. I'll meet you here again.
Others need your love and care. I'm sending you a friend."

I rub my eyes and the rainbow is again a rustic bridge.
I send a prayer for that quick glimpse to the loving God above.
I hear a noise and glance back down. I can't believe my eyes.
Across the bridge, my darling pet sent a furbaby for me to love.

I pick up the furry bundle, hold her close to my dampened cheek.
he nuzzles my neck, kisses my tears. It's true love at first sight.
Not to replace the one who's gone; another who needs my love and care.
My eyes are drawn upward to see a Rainbow Bridge in radiating light.
