I think tonight I'm going to bed early...I'd wanted to post several different things, but will have to do this a bit later.

I do want to share one thing that means a lot to me.

This is a poem, written by my friend Rose, especially for Bootsie & me.

Thank you, Rose!!

A Message From Bootsie

c

My Mom, she tells a lot of lies
She never did before.
From now until the day she dies.
She'll tell a whole lot more.

She used to tell the truth, a lot
But now it doesn't matter.
I died and went to heaven,
Her life is all a-shatter.

Since I crossed the Rainbow Bridge

She'll say, "Yes, I'm fine!"
She wants to beg "Please help me.
I can't find that girl of mine!"

Ask my Mom, how is she,
And she'll say, "I'm alright."
If that's the truth then tell me,
Why does she cry at night?

You think you know the feeling,
But this I Know can't be.
For even though I'm just a dog

Boundless was her love for me

She will smile and tell you,
I'll get by, I know I can
But she will turn away and cry
'Cause you just won't understand.

I watch from here, in Heaven.
Her distress disturbs my peace.
Will someone please take care of her,
And help her heartache cease.

They say "Some day you'll feel better."
"Yes I will." she lies.
She knows this will not happen,
Until the day she dies.

She said "I was so lucky!
I had her all those years!"
ButThey passed in just a minute,
Now she sheds so many tears

Ask my Mom how is she,
She'll say, "Thank you. Good."
She cannot tell you how she feels.
Oh, how I wish she could.

Ask my Mom how is she,
"I'm well, I'm good. And you?"
I'll shake my head in Heaven.
It simply isn't true.

She'll love me all her life.
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask how is she,
She'll lie and say she's fine.

I am here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you, don't listen.
Hug her, hold her near.

On the day she gets to Heaven

I'll be here for her to hold

"You're lucky to get in here, Mom,
With all the lies you told!"

Hugz, Rose
