A friend from above - Ava Maria

A FRIEND FROM ABOVE....

I prayed for you before we met,
Not knowing who you'd be.
I asked the Lord to send a friend.
One chosen just for me.

I asked that they'd be Godly,
With wisdom of His ways.
A friend to help and guide me
I the troubles of these days.

So often in life, we need someone
To listen while we talk.
Someone who will not condemn or judge,
But encourage us as we walk.




The narrow road we choose to follow
May sometimes make us stumble.
But to have a friend to catch our fall,
Teaches us to be humble.

When I asked the Lord to send a friend,
Though many came and went.
He gave much more than I ever asked,
For you are the friend He sent.

Poem set to Ava Maria sung by Celtic Woman with photos of my faithful friend and companion Ebony the dog

Looks just like my baby ...she died in December & I still miss her so much

[Tweeklet]

@SofaLaLoka I'm really sorry to hear that SLL, it's been just over a year now without Ebony and although time heals a lot of the hurt the sadness hasn't left yet. I think it's right that we miss anyone who has been in our lives, it helps us cherish what is left

[Tweeklet]

First time I have watched this since you left me... I miss you so much

[Feeluck]

@Tweeklet my friend left me, too

[Tweeklet]

@Feeluck sometimes it's still too hard to even think about, thoughts are with you Feeluck

Die Zeit stand still, als wir das Video ansahen.

Es ist so verdammt traurig, wir haben so geweint. Manche Dinge, die passieren, sind einfach unfassbar...

My precious little dog died the day I turned 12. We dug a grave in the back yard and put a stone over it. And feathers, because he liked to chase them. I'm 14 now and he hasn't left my life yet.

@SonnyLees

sure she is a part of me.

but this part from now on is memory

you can't hug, stroke, feed or go out with that memory..

your memory won't tip your elbow while eating or watching tv

and your memory don't come to you if you're sad and tries to comfort you

[SonnyLees]

@Feeluck There is no hole, she will always be a part of you and your life, she over flowed into your world for as long as she could.

There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about Ebony still

@Tweeklet

its now over 8 months ago since my friend left me

and i'm still sad when i come home and there is no dog

running to the door as fast as it can, to welcome me at home and grinning at me

the space she left is just empty. i guess it will never be filled again my hole life...
