In Loving Memory of Patty Brown

1993(?) - 08/16/2005

I stood by your bed last night, I came to take a peek,

I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.

I barked 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 your tea,

You were thinking of me many times, your hand reached down to me.

I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such loving care,

I want to reassure you, that I am not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your keys,

I gently put my paw on you, I barked and said "It's me".

You looked so very tired, as you sank into your chair,

I tried so very hard to let you know, I was standing right there.

It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday,

To say to you with certainty, "I never went away".

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...

in the stillness of the evening, I was very close to you.

Another day is over, and I watch you start yawning,

"Goodnight, God Bless, I'll see you in the morning.

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,

I'll rush across to greet you, and we'll stand side by side.

I will have so many things to show you, there is so much here to see,

Be patient, live your journey out...

then come home to be with me.
