HAVING
Take what you want, says God,
And pay for it...I've paid.
I've paid in money, effort, comfort, time:
In broken flowers, in crumpled, mud-stained clothes,
In trampled carpets, sleepless nights, in rage;
And in that bitter moment at the end,
When on the table, circled in arms of love,
With gentle, grateful eyes, she glides at last
Into her endless sleep.
I've paid, What have I taken
Worth all this price of ruined chairs, ripped books,
Chewed shoes and soon-forgotten crime on crime?
I've taken lives that centered all on me.
I've taken joy and laughter for my tears,
With dividends of friends, and hopes and fears.
I've taken love, and walked as one bewitched,
Safe through life's snares, while I gave thought
To lustrous eyes, to brilliant coats, to forms
That spring and leap and run, enchanted beings,
Taking my spirit with them as they fly.
And when the reckonings made on my last day
Of all my foolish work and lack of thrift,
Whether in debt or credit it will stay -
I'll not have bought, for no price buys a gift.

The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is
a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,
that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of
our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty
of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and
vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,
just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The
animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each
miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly
stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager
body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the
green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally
meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the
beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet,
so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
