| Candi - October 15, 2004 - February 07, 2006 |
Candi, tragically taken from us by a reckless,
speeding driver
February 7, 2006 at the age of 16-months old.
My sweet Candi Kisses, you'll always be in our hearts and memories
until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.
Please remember to always keep your pet on a leash,
even the best trained dog can run off into a dangerous situation.
Lend
Me A Pup
I
will lend to you for awhile
a puppy, God said
For you to love him while he lives
and to mourn for him when he is
gone.
Maybe
for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe for two or three
But will you, till I call him back
take care of him for me?
He'll
bring his charms to gladden you
and (should his stay be brief)
you'll always have his memories
as solace for your
grief.
I cannot promise that he will stay,
since
all from earth return
But there are lessons taught below
I want this pup to learn.
I've
looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true
And from the folk that crowd life's land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love
Nor
think the labour vain
Nor hate me when I come to take my pup back again
I
fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done,"
For all the joys this pup will bring,
the risk of grief
you'll run.
Will you shelter him with tenderness
Will you love him while you may
And for the happiness you'll know
forever grateful stay.
But
should I call him back
much sooner than you've planned
Please brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.
If,
by your love, you've managed
my wishes to achieve,
In memory of him that you've loved
cherish every moment with your
faithful bundle,
and know he loved you too.
