Meeting at the Bridge on Thankful Thursday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

First, thanks to Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the great picture every week!

Xena: We’re especially thankful to Miss Pam at Two Spoiled Cats who hosts the poem every week. Me and Mom were real late even thinking about doing our weekly poem, and got over-excited when we saw what is this week’s poem. Yep, we wrote the poem for it and posted it last Thursday. Miss Pam loved the poem and told us to go ahead and post it again this week. So for those who didn’t see it then, here you go. And those who did, well, maybe you would like to read it again. Oh, and I do want to clear Angel Lexi’s name for the mistake. She didn’t know when it was supposed to post. (Whew, glad I got that off my chest.) Here we go…

I’ve been consulting with Angel Lexi about today’s picture. She said she could jump into the picture and help me. Y’all know that our Riley crossed the bridge a year ago last Thanksgiving. He and Lexi didn’t have a great relationship cause she always tried to boss him around and he wasn’t allowed to do anything about it. But that all changed now that they are angels. You’ll see…

Meeting at the Bridge by Angels Lexi and Riley

Lexi: Riley, I’m happy to see you again.
You’re somewhere safe, and here we’ll be friends.
No need to fear, Ri; let me take your paw.
The Bridge is safe, soon you’ll be in awe.

Riley: I feel much younger, with no aches and no bloat.
I’m feeling like I have wings and can float.
I’ll run to you, Lexi, to the other side
Where I’ll feel the peace and love our Lord provides.

Lexi: This is my unicorn, Spike is his name.
Riley: A unicorn, huh? We’ll all play a game!
Lexi: Hurry on over, we’ll go see the Big Guy.
Riley: I know he’ll love me. Watch! I think I can fly!

Lexi: Well, that poem worked well, Riley, What do you think?
Riley: I’ve got a warm, tingly feeling in my heart.
Lexi: It’s probably just indigestion.
Riley: It’s *blaaat* yep, at least it doesn’t smell.

The End

Xena: Wow, I sure didn’t expect that! I’m thankful that I’m still here with my Mommy, and well. I hope I have many more years with her and Daddy. But at least I know that when it’s my time to go, I won’t be alone at the Bridge, and I’m thankful for that too.

Lucy: Even though I’m really healthy, I’m older than you, so I might get to see Angel Riley again before you do, Xe. We used to be good friends and I’m sure we will be again some day. In the meantime, I’m hungry and want more food! I’m thankful that Mom got me some chicken from the grocery with bones in it to crunch! Yummm.

Chia: I’m thankful Mom lets me have the wings to eat. She always watches me while I eat them (I think so Lucy doesn’t steal it away from me). It’s been cold this week, but I’m thankful for the sunpuddles to nap in!

All: We’re thankful for you, our friends, and how much we know you care about us!!!!

  14. Lulu: “What a wonderful place the Rainbow Bridge must be! We have heard all about Tucker’s Everlasting Rainbow Bridge Buffet and about how much Tucker, uh, tooted in his later years, so we’re happy to know that even with all that food, he would not be making the place all stinky!”

  15. Oh I think you all would have probably piled onto that wonky truck and added weight to the OTHER side to even it out and the truck could have been on its’ way no problem! LOL I love this poem though and I bet we see a lot of BEAUTIFUL poems next Thursday…..!!!!! This one was simply HEAVENLY.

    Hugs, Pam (and Ted)

  16. Thanks, Sandra. Lexi was the most incredible dog I’ve ever had. During the first week of her playing Toto in the Wizard of Oz I felt the Lord saying to me, “I gave her to you to give joy to others.” And she always found a way to do it.

  33. This was a totally sweet and heartwarming “visit with Angel Riley…….it was nice Riley and Lexi could “get together” and talk a bit. I’m sure Riley is a frequent visitor at your house in the dreams of those who new him before he got his wings. Please report this beautiful poem next Thursday which is when this photo is the subject of Poetry Day. AND if you have a chance (and if you want to!) you can post a poem for the photo of the WONKY TRUCK that was today’s photo any day you want to this week. We love your poems so feel free to do one for the truck or not – up to you!!! But you can’t beat this conversation with Riley – it is a poem you should SAVE for sure.

    Love, Pam and Teddy (and Angel Sammy too!)
