Ok maybe I'm a softy at heart, but this poem touched me...

I try not to spread things from facebook etc... but this poem just.... well....  read it, and you'll see.

I'm sorry I dont know the author to give proper credit too -

When tomorrow starts without me,

And I'm not there to see.

The sun will rise and find your eyes,

All filled with tears for me.

I know how much you loved me,

As much as I loved you.

And each time you think of me,

I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,

I want you to understand.

An angel came and called my name,

And I answered his command.

He said my place was ready,

In dog heaven far above.

But that I'd have to leave behind,

All those I dearly love.

If I could relive yesterday,

Even for a little while.

I'd come and lick your hand,

Just to see you smile.

So when tomorrow starts without me,

Don't think we're far apart.

For every time you think of me,

You'll find my paw prints on your heart.
