All of the buns that have passed recently...

Right now I am really just welling up thinking about all the buns that have passed recently. I'm reading lots of poems and thought that this might be comforting.

'I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times,
your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I am not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house,
as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away.

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew.
That in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch
you yawning and say "good-night,
God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me.

Loved Ones Are With You Always,
Wherever You May Go

Aww that's so sweet. It's really cheered me up. Thank you

that was beautiful. I found the following somewhere- maybe on here, I cant remember , but it is lovely.
I was only wanted
When I was cute and small,
But as soon as I got bigger
They didn't want me at all,
They finally got tired of me
Then came the neglect,
They left my cage uncovered
I was hungry, cold and wet,
I was moved right down the garden
With a board in front of me,
So that no-one knew that I was there
And nothing could I see,
They came to see me now and then
Infrequently I was fed,
The bit of straw they gave me
Was my food, also my bed,
The only time they picked me up
Was to do cruel things to me,
I knew this was my life now
And I never would be free,
They picked me up by my ears
And shout at me in rage,
"You stupid rabbit" they would say
As they threw me in my cage,
One day I heard a different voice
A gentle hand took hold of me,
She held me tightly to her
Who could this Angel be?
She took me on a journey
She spoke to me all the way,
Telling me my life would change
And with her I would now stay,
It took a while for me to trust
This Angel of the night,
When she tried to pick me up
I would tremble with the fright,
And when she tried to stroke me
I'd scratch her gentle hand,
But she never once scolded me
She seemed to understand,
I knew that she was different
From the evil ones I'd known,
I'd got a forever Mummy
And a perfect loving home,
I lived with her for many years
I was such a happy Bun,
She nourished me with love and care
My human being Mum,
But last night I was tired
And I knew the end was near,
But because of all the love I'd known
There was nothing left to fear,
I was taken to the promised land
At the very break of day,
My Mum was so upset and shocked
To find I'd past away,
If only I could tell her
Just what she did for me,
When she rescued me those years ago
And set my spirit free,
I wish that I could tell her
That she must not be sad,
She must rescue other Buns
And give them the life I had,
No longer hang your head in pain
And please wipe away that tear,
Don't cry because I have gone
Smile....because I was here.

The second poem reminds me so much of how oscar was treated by my neighbours before i rescued him. He is just so happy to see someone every day now and appreciated lots of things that the rest of my buns think of as the norm like a bowl of food or fresh hay.
