Please don't Pee on the Christmas Tree

Still thinking about you friend!

I Loved You Best

So this is where we part, My Friend,
and you'll run on, around the bend,
gone from sight, but not from mind,
new pleasures there you'll surely find.
I will go on, I'll find the strength,
life measures quality, not its length.
One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.
There are others, that much is true,
but they be they, and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
will remember well all you've taught.
Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,
the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed,
And as you journey to your final rest,
take with you this...I loved you best.

We Miss you old friend!

*~God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So he put his
arms around you, and whispered ..come to me.. . With tearful eyes we
watched you, and saw you pass away, although we love you dearly, we
couldnt make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at
rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us.. that he only takes the best.~*

For Brandon and Jasmine

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.
