Het HondenForum

Ik ben op zoek naar een gedicht wat ik ooit ergens gelezen heb, maar nergens meer terug kan vinden.
Het is in het Engels en gaat over een overleden hond (of huisdier) die zijn baas verteld dat hij zich niet schuldig moet voelen om weer een nieuw dier te nemen, omdat hij zoveel liefde kan geven.

Geen idee of dit em is ....want er zijn er velen...maar deze vond ik altijd mooi...

Message from your pet...

To have loved and then said farewell is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and
returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you. For the care that you gave to me
so unselfishly. For all of these things I am grateful and thankful. I ask that you grieve
not for the loss but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each other's lives.
My life was fuller because you were there, not as owner, but as my friend. Today, I am
as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among fthe flowers and
the sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures. I can run, jump and play
and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints
and no regrets and no aging. We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know
that togetherness is forever. You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such
as you are very rare and unique. Don't hold the love that you have within yourself.
Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies,
and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.

Your pet in heaven.

Dat is hem inderdaad! Zo mooi!
Dank je

Wat prachtig!
Ik zit dit met tranen in mijn ogen te lezen, ik heb mijn hond na 13 jaar een paar maanden terug moeten laten inslapen.
Ik mis hem nog elke dag.

Dank je wel voor dit mooie gedicht!

Hij is mooi...

weet zo snel even niet welk gedicht je bedoelt.

maar deze is ook erg mooi vind ik zelf.

"With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes,
after all these years; we must say goodbye.
The memories you gave me; I will never forget,
especially the ones; of the day we met.

One last hug; and one last kiss,
you have no idea;how much you'll be missed.
So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes,
just for now my friend; We Say Goodbye."
