Treasured Memories
I will lend you for a while, a little pup, God said,
for you to love her while she lives
and mourn for her when she's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three.
But will you, until I call her back, take care of her for me.
She'll bring her charms to gladden you
(and should her stay be brief),
You'll always have her memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she 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's life's land,
I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take my puppy 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 we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay.
But should you call her back much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed, your wises to achieve,
In memory of her we loved, to help us while we grieve.
When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife,
Maybe we'll have yet another puppy and love it all its life

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you,
to tell you that I loved you,
to say what now must be one long, unbroken cry of pain,
now that you've gone away.
I cannot tell you what a joy it was to be the one to love you.
I wish I could have been with you when you,
Perhaps aware, perhaps not, slipped away,
Alone, with no one there to wonder to,
To share your fear, your hand, your one last breath.
I wish, I wish, I wish . . . but it is done,
And now I must surrender what is gone.
To you, to tell you that I loved you,
Your memory lives on so run free my baby

When tomorrow starts without me,
Dont think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart

Sadly in the summer of 2006 Kizzi became very ill.
In Jan 2007, after many unsuccessful treatments we made the heartwrenching decision to end Kizzi's suffering and
let her go to rainbow bridge.
Kizzi has left a huge gap in our lives and is missed terribly. xxxx
Life without you is difficult,
I know your safe and free of pain
in gods loving arms,
but I still long for your companionship
each and every day.
As long as life and memory last
we will never forget thee.
So rest in peace my baby,
I know you've gone to play,
The special times we shared
will be again one day. xxxxx
Remember our love...
I was chosen today
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away
but please don't you cry
and I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please dont you cry
and dont say that I'm gone
when you're feeling alone
just remember our love
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above
remember our love
in a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me
