I agree that poem is beautiful.
I have it in my files. When I bury a furbaby I read this to give me some comfort. But....it still hard though.
Surprisingly I don't know it by heart. Some things just don't register in my brain.
 
Letter From Your Pet In Heaven
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from the Bridge.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness.
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of
sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and
night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was
through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome
you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed
while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on."
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to
do.
And foremost on the list was to watch and care for
you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put
to flight,
God and I are closest to you... in the middle of the
night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those
loving years,
because you are only human, they are bound to bring
you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was
some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth
is o'er.
I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to
climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you
too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give
to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along I made somebody smile.
God says: "If you meet somebody who is sad and feeling
low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you
go."
When you're walking down the street with me on your
mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go... from that body to
be free.
Remember you're not going... you're coming here to me.
