God’s Storybook
By Dawn Lynn Towers
You held me in your arms today
My head rested upon your chest
As your tears fell, I slipped away
Into final rest
Angels came and clutched me tight
As to Heaven we would go
Ever toward the brightest light
From “The Golden Gate” it glowed
A home was waiting there for me
It looked just like my own
Beside the hearth my blanket lay
And next to it my bone
I looked around and there was not
A thing forgotten there
Except for you, and frantically
I looked everywhere
God put his gentle hand so warm
Upon my troubled head
Angels with their smiles so sweet
Lay me upon my bed
Between my favourite toy and bone
A storybook with pictures perched
The angels turned each page in time
For you I need not search
All my life was in the book
Each hug and kiss you gave
Each word of love you ever spoke
Was on each precious page
God said to me to rest awhile
Beside the hearth of home
With my special storybook
I’d never be alone
When the pictures faded dull
And the pages torn
The angels would add a log to the fire
To make it extra warm
Through the door you’d come to me
The book would disappear
You’d pick me up and hug me tight
I’d kiss away your tear
To the hearth we’d go and sit
In your favourite chair
Beside your feet I’d settle in
As Angels came to care
Upon your lap they’d lay a book
And turn each page in time
I’d close my eyes to rest awhile
Because I knew now you’d be fine…

Masonridge’s Bosco
May 29/03 – Aug/03
Remember to always remove your puppy’s collar when you put him in his crate. Also, never leave anything close enough to the crate that the puppy could pull into the crate. Bosco managed to pull the strap of his owner’s purse into his crate and strangle himself – a very unfortunate accident!
Charlie Chaplin

Charlie was our sugarcat – he had insulin dependent diabetes for the last 4 years of his life. Charlie never complained about the constant jabs to his ears and twice daily injections. Rest in peace, dear boy.
