Today is the third anniversary of my Leibchen's passing. You were, still are, and will always be Marmy's "little daughter". I love you now as much as always...and always will
I Searched For You The Other Day
I searched for you the other day
Yet, no matter how far I could see
I found you not in any of the places
You so often used to be
Your name on my tongue, I called out to you
But, still, you came not to me
I searched for you the other day
Surely to find you in one of the places
So often you liked to play
You were not digging in the yard
Nor off on some adventure, yet to explore
Now emptiness, your toys once cluttering the floor
I searched for you the other day
In all the places you would often lay
You were not lying by the door
In your favorite warm, sunny, spot
Nor were you in the cool shower stall
Where you would lie when it got too hot
I searched for you the other day
While I need not have looked too far
Of course, your favorite thing to do
Was always going for a ride in the car
But, as a turned to smile at you, sitting right next to me
There was only an empty seat, where I had expected you to be
I searched for you the other day
As my hopes began to fade
My search, thus far, had been in vain
As tears did brim, came too, a much familiar pain
For a piece of me had left with you
When away, now free, your spirit it flew
I searched for you the other day
When I felt a growing fear
So, I sat down and closed my eyes
'Twas then, you did appear
All at once the tears did fall
As I was reminded, you were never lost at all
I searched for you the other day
The memories, they did flow
The good times, so many, were there again
Oh, where did all those years go
You are right here now as you were then
Only a thought away, oh, where to begin
I searched for you the other day
My Love you're never far, what more should I say
As it was when we met, until God called you away
You were right here from the start
Here, safely you will forever stay
For your memory lives deep inside my heart
I searched for you the other day
This time 'twas the last
I will no longer wonder of the what if's and why's
It's time to let go of that past
Whenever I need you now, I'll search no further than my heart
'Till the day we meet each other again...and never will we part

Not goodbye.....just until
Marmy always comes back for you

Full Version: I Searched For You Today
{{{{{{{From Lei-Lei to My Marmy}}}}}}}
"Last Night"
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 re-assure you,
that I'm 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 ...
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.

Absolutely beautiful tribute. We will never forget.
