Loved his tribute to Flora, but my eyes welled up as I thought of Felix, our pom who passed away 4 yrs ago. I'm going to give the beagle a good long walk today.
Lovely song... made me think of two of our loving cats who had touched our hearts and are no longer here. Sharing life with these gentle, loving creatures was a real blessing. Pure joy!
Really miss my Snoopy!........in tears........thank you for the beautiful song....When human beings have such a gentle and caring heart life is so beautiful and there is always hope....and relation ship with the nature becomes spiritual....
Such a beautiful song and wonderful tribute to Flora. Praying Michael that your lost is comforted in by the love that Flora was shown by you as this song shows us all.
this reminds me of my mini dachshund Belle. She recently passed away in March.. she looked just like Flora...she was 11 years old...this video is very similar to the life Belle had...i dressed her up all the time when she was younger...i still miss her and always will.
Every one of us who has lost a beloved pet feels the mix of joy and nostalgic sadness in this song. It is a gorgeous tone poem, a perfect tribute to the beauty of life with a special animal. Flora stands ready at the gates, welcoming all our lost loves and wagging that sweet tail to say, "thanks for the memories (and all the hats)."
Thank you Michael, for such a moving piece. And how beautiful to see those flowers on her cairn - an honor...
My life is measured in all the beloved Dachshunds I've been honored to share some time on this Earth with. How wonderful, that you've put what I've also experienced into words. We WILL all meet again some day. Namaste, Flora!
This morning we said goodbye to CFA PR Cheetarah's Lake MI Summer Sunset, our gorgeous fawn abyssinian boy Sunny Boo Boo Kitty. He was 13 yrs, 5 mo old. Thank you, Michael for this beautiful song. :..(
wow....I'm missing Flora too....He's remembered in most of the liner notes in Michaels cd....lol...when I first got into Michael's music I thought it was his wife's name....RIP Flora
Took my upload down, in favor of this one. It's such a great song and I'm glad it's here. Thanks to the person who alerted me to this. Gil Goldstein's arrangement of this really gorgeous. Peace to Flora.
If you were touched by this song click the HUA link above and help Michael is donating the royalties from this song to Hearts United for Animals in Flora's memory.
My husband and I rescue dachshunds and have lost several in the past few years. We are down to a par of 3 and one of our older guys was just diagnosed with lymphoma. I just bought this CD and now seeing this I cried We can so relate. Thank you for all the fun and fabulous love music, but thank you as well for this tribute. Miss miss you in Orlando Fl. It has been too long since you have been here!
Very well done... she was so loved... letting our friends go are sometimes the hardest things we must do or experience. One day I will see my friends again as well.
Thanks so much for sharing this personal devastation with us, I know what Flora meant to you and your wife. My wife and I went through this pain a year ago losing our Ralph ( Golden Retriever ) to cancer But thanks to great organizations like HUA, we rescued Tucker... Although it doesn't kill the pain, it does help ease. I have met you at several concerts and looking forward to the added date in Houston Oct. 14th.. Take Care - Steve & Nena
Thank you for posting this beautiful, reflective, peaceful, elegant, thoughtful and tender tribute. I feel like I know Flora now and feel enriched by your sharing this.
This was beautiful, and my tears flowed! I have lost two precious doxxies in the past three years (RIP Nanners and Rusty)........and my doxxie Daphne came from HUA. They are a fantastic organization. Your Flora was just adorable!
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this...I cried my eyes out when I first heard it, remembering how painful each and every one of my lost pets. Flora is just waiting at the Rainbow Bridge...
thanks Michael ! Magic years spent in the company of such great criatures teaching us how simple it is to be in balance with Nature....
Your music has been with us from the very begining...and it's getting better everyday!
Best to You!
