PIN: For Those We Have Loved and Lost

[JjGoesBounce]

For Aero and For Thumper

Why does the heart heal but the wound remains
I felt your sorrow, I felt your pain
I heard you come quite often
I see you in my room
Your smiles always remain
The plants are there for you
Through the sun and the rain
Just like a flower never really dies
You just live on
I know one day
Very soon
You and I will be reunited
Never more we stand apart
Today we are united


The sun will always shine
On your little patch of Heaven
The world will never die
Because you bring smiles every day
Your flowers will everbloom
I'd prefer to see your face
Rather then the doom
I know you never want me to cry
But each day I think of you and sigh
Please stop the tears
Make a waterfall
Never forget me darlings
You know the same for me


Like a waterfall
Your love carries on
Everflowing, always repeating
Just like the drumbeat carries on
Water is the symbol of life
Of faces yet to be seen
Of all those loved and lost
Hide just under the bluey sheen
How can I just catch a glimpse
Of what's in my heart
In the pond
By the river's edge tonight
I'll see both your faces
Shinging ever so bright

Years ago when I took Commodore Stockton an that last visit to the vet, "So Far Away" by Dire Straits was on. Every time I hear it I think of my little Man.

Wow, this was a great thread, even though I had to use a box of tissues.
I've never had a pet before and my wife and I got our first bunny, Dilly in January. Dilly is our first pet together and my first pet, period. We have already fallen in love with Dilly and just thinking of the day when we get up and Dilly isn't there to jump on our bed to get her morning rubs makes my heart break and tears come to my eyes.
Buns surely know how to hop into the hearts of their slaves and I guess I need to just stop thinking of when that day will come and enjoy every single day that we have with Dilly.
Thanks to all for their words and poems and rest in peace to every bun that has gone to the bridge.

I love this song-when I think of bunnies being critically ill, but caring for them as you slowly see them getting worse and heading towards the bridge, this is the song that comes to mind. When my Jelly had head tilt, this is the song that seems to describe the long time in caring for her though ultimately we had to eventually put her to sleep. Binky free little Jelly. :rainbow:


Selah - I Will Carry You

There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?
People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this

[Chorus]
I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen me
To carry you


Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says ...
I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?

[Chorus]

I am so glad you posted this today. I didn't know this thread was here. I've been having a really hard day missing my Scout who went to the Rainhow Bridge in April. I was missing her so much and knew I needed to cry but couldn't. Reading through this thread released my tears and made me feel better I love "I Will Carry You." Words can't express how much it moved me. Thank you.

There's a song from Stephen Sondheim's musical that comforted me so much when my mother died. Since then, it has comforted me through every loss...

You Are Not Alone

Mother isn't here now,
who knows what she'd say.
Nothing's quite so clear now.
You feel you've lost your way.

Sometimes people leave you
half way through the wood.
Do not let it grieve you
No one leaves for good.

You are not alone,
No one is alone.
Truly, no one is alone.

I'm suprised that this song hasn't been posted already, at least not that I could find. This song is from Watership Down, Sung by Art Garfunkel. I remember watching the movie as a kid and crying. The song still makes me cry every time, although Watership Down is a beautiful story.

I'd like to think that El-ahrairah will take my buns to join his Owsla one day, but hopefully in the very distant future when it's their time.

Bright Eyes

Is it a kind of dream,
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream?
Oh, is it a dream?

There's a fog along the horizon,
A strange glow in the sky,
And nobody seems to know where you go,
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?

Bright eyes, burning like fire.
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Is it a kind of shadow,
Reaching into the night,
Wandering over the hills unseen,
Or is it a dream?

There's a high wind in the trees,
A cold sound in the air,
And nobody ever knows when you go,
And where do you start,
Oh, into the dark.

Bright eyes, burning like fire.
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Bright eyes, burning like fire.
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
