(Terri Onorato)
                                    I've been blessed with many things
                                         the best of all is you,
                                        a friend unlike all others
                                     with a love so strong and true.
                                       As the days go slowly by
                                       I'll watch you from above
                                       guiding with a gentle paw
                                        and never-ending love.
                                     When you need to feel me near
                                         look to the starry sky
                                     for the twinkle that is brightest
                                       is the love within my eyes.

                                     Please don't think you are alone
                                      because I've left your sight,
                                      for I proudly sit atop a cloud
                                        and visit you each night.
                                     The angel paws upon your skin
                                    and tender nudge within your palm,
                                     are really me inside your dreams
                                      the quiet hours before dawn.
                                     Please know I'm waiting for you
                                       but until your time arrives,
                                      I'll be the touch and comfort
                                    in the dreams that fill your mind.

Heaven's Castle

                                        (Terri & Luci Onorato)
                                       High above the brilliant sun
                                          a castle lies in wait
                                     for every soul that angels bring
                                        to Heaven's holy gate.
                                      Footprints mark new spirits
                                     who appeared the night before
                                      and walked a golden pathway
                                       leading to the castle door.
                                    This trail entwines through gardens
                                      where vivacious cherubs live,
                                      and stardust ponds illuminate
                                     the path 'cross Rainbow Bridge.
                                   And where the Bridge and castle join
                                       absorbed in candle glow,
                                  the door stands proud to welcome those
                                    who've made their journey Home.
                                       This door is always open
                                    and a gentle breeze runs through,
                                        no lock prohibits entry,
                                     and no curtain blocks the view.
                                      Teddy bears adorn the clouds
                                      where Bridgekids often sleep,
                                     spent from days of happy play
                                      and doing good Bridge deeds.
                                       Praising wondrous rebirth
                                       from the castle up above
                                      the spirits and our Bridgekids
                                          unite in holy love.
                                   And when our time on earth is done
                                       they'll meet us at the gate
                                    and guide us over Rainbow Bridge
                                      where Heaven's castle waits.

                                                     Toward the sun I soar so free,
                                                     a brilliant rainbow follows me.

                                                    I pulsate through your very soul
                                                    and in my paws your heart I hold.

                                                 The day will come when you'll fly too,
                                                    I'll be here then to welcome you.

                                                      Until the time we meet again
                                                     I won't journey far my friend.

                                                     For in your love I live so free,
                                                     a brilliant rainbow guiding me.
