I stood by your bed last
night, I came to have a peep
I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear.
It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here
I was close to you at
breakfast, I watched you pour the tea
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me
I was with you at the shops today, your arms were getting sore
I wanted to take your parcels, I wished I could do more.
I was with you at my grave
today, you tend it with such care
I want to reassure you that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house as you fumbled for the key,
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said It's me.
You looked so very tired
and then you sank into a chair
I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there
It's possible for me to be so near you every day
To say to you with certainty I never went away.
You sat there very
quietly, then smiled, I think you knew
That in the stillness of that evening I was very close to you
The day is over....I smile and watch you yawning and say,
good night, sweet dreams, god bless you, I'll see you in the morning
And when the time is right
for you, to cross the brief divide
I'll rush to greet you and we'll stand together side by side
I have so many things to show you, there's so much for you to see
Be patient, live your journey out, then come home and be with me.
