Waiting at Heaven's Gate

- Author Unknown -

I got to the gates of Heaven yesterday,

After we said good-bye.

I began to miss you terribly,

Because I heard you cry.

Suddenly there was an Angel and she asked me

to enter Heaven's gate.

I asked her if I could stay outside

for someone who'd be late.

I wouldn't make much noise you see,

I wouldn't bark or howl.

I'll only wait here patiently

and play with my tennis ball.

The Angel said I could stay right here

and wait for you to come.

Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven

if I went in alone.

We had Winston for 12 years! We loved him and miss him but we know he had a great life! It is very hard to let a beloved companion pass on but we must remember to do what's best for him, not for ourselves!

These poems says it so well!!
