[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 100582, member: 852"] You have my sympathy as well. I found this years ago and it seems appropriate now. 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 him when he is gone. Maybe for twelve or fourteen years or maybe 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. How 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 achieved, in memory of him that you've loved, cherish every moment with your faithful bundle, and know he loved you, too. -Author Unknown [/QUOTE]
