For all pet lovers

[hyphenate]

Tonight thinking about an ill Amanda (who refuses to eat and take her medicine), I thought about a poem I'd read some time ago, and decided to look it up. I'm sure some of you are familiar with it already, but here's the poem at any rate for those who haven't seen it. This was written by a woman to her sister, who had lost a loved pet.

Request From Rainbow Bridge
by Constance Jenkins
In Loving Memory of Isolde Jenkins

Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.
