Your Pet Tributes

'Gilligan'

by Makenzie Pfeifer
(Wisconsin)

I love my Gilligan more than ever. It has been a month today since he died. I miss him more than anything. I'm sleeping outside with him tonight! Pets are more than taking care of something. Pets are like having another brother or sister with you. They walk around the house and follow you.

Gilligan was the best thing that ever happened to me. He will always be in my heart. He is watching me type this right know. Even know you can't see them they are still there.

Their spirit is free, but will never depart.
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight.
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach.
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around, and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep,
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm every place.
