These words came to me last night, and as always, I let them flow out. Dedicated to Mary and her little Sparky, who crossed the Bridge on May 16th, 2013. And so I’ve said goodbye today Another flame’s blown out The tears are gently falling now With memories about. I understand it was your time It doesn’t ease the pain My heart – it feels like it will burst It aches to think your name. I look for you each step and turn I listen for your bark The simple things I smiled at The warmest ever Spark The house was yours, your palace; King The joys of life you knew And as I think about your Bridge I know you love the view. Imagine how you trot about Demanding things to change For if you’re gonna be the Prince There’s much to re-arrange Time is but a one way road We travel our own pace And then I knew your time was short I saw it on your face You told me it was time to go I knew the time was right. I never thought we’d have these years… But you were worth the fight. So as you lay, warm in my lap I did the best I could To give the gift of peace to you Just like you knew I would. Your spirit now is free and flies Your earthly body gone. And all your love that’s carried me Will help me carry on Something deep inside me knows You’re watching over me Waiting for the day to come When I’ll be finally free. The bond we shared, the life we lived The warmth inside my heart Will have to see me through this too… My precious little Spark.
