Goodbye, Danny Boy, by Karen Schechrle (SangAZ1)

[chelynnah]

Goodbye, Danny Boy.... Hesitantly, I slip the lead releasing him from the bonds of mortals. With gentle hands, I let him go, tho fearing him lost Forever. But as he streaks toward Heaven, joyous barking greets him. His companions are waiting for him to join in as they chase the wind. Once more, he is young and carefree, as he races over fields near Heaven's Gate. And in a place where skies are bright blue, and wildflowers always bloom, he.......like the others.......will wait for me. Until then, they'll return each night to sleep safely in my heart.
