IN MEMORIUM - This page is a tribute to our beloved Boulder who was killed in a freak accident. She is gone but not forgotten. The emptiness remains. She speaks to us from everywhere...

I AM NOT THERE

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

                          Boulder,

There are times when I think of you,
at night when I'm all alone.
You were so loving and playful,
the day I brought you home.
You grew to be so special,
in unique and different ways.
I cherish the love you gave me,
I will never forget those days.
Our time together was short and sudden.
I looked forward to watching you grow.
You were becoming such a beautiful goat,
and your promising future showed.
There are times when I think of you,
during the day as I always will.
I start to wonder if I let you down,
but I know you loved me still.
That's why your memory is so painful,
your loss I can never replace.
Though many have touched my life,
no one will take your place.
I'm not able to show you now,
how much you still mean to me.
I will give my love to another,
and provide them a family.
There are times when I think of you,
while standing at your grave alone.
I remember the love you shared with me,
and I just want to bring you home.

A Message From Above...

My Forever Friends,
I know that it must be different,
now that I'm no longer there.
I realize how much I was loved
and how all of you did care.
I know it will be hard at first
when you look around for me.
Expecting to find me in my bed
or beside my favorite tree.
Someday you will begin to see
although it'll take some time,
the happy times you shared with me,
the memories are yours and mine.
I'll remember you, my friends,
and how much you meant to me.
So please don't grieve and don't be sad,
it was just my time to leave.
