It Was Just Another Day In Paradise
Sitting On My Heating Pad
Thinking Of You
Again
...
It's Curious
I Seem To Find MySelf
Checking In On You More Often
Whilst Sitting On Heaven's Hottest Heating Pad
...
My Perch Above You In The Sky
Gives A Great Vantage Point
( And Method Of Attack )
...
So Whenever You Find The Pleasure
Of Finding A Pad Or Sunbeam
Enjoy That Warmth And Dwell
In The Comfort We Had
And Think Of Me
( Because I'm Surely Thinking Of You )
Always In Your Sunbeams
Thanks For All The Heat
( And The Meat )
I hope this Sunday finds you well. We were talking this week about, well heating pads, but also about what our pets would be doing now in the afterlife, whatever that means to you. I imagine that Blazer would be stealing someone's food, finding a buddy to groom, and clearing out the Rainbow Bridge with his bad gas.
Join us today if you'd like to share your story and be around others.
If you can't, share or write about a memory of them with someone you love.
#WeeklyMemoryPrompt
What would they be doing right now across the Rainbow Bridge? What would they be playing with? Would they be running and jumping? Playing? Youthful? How would you imagine it? Spend a few minutes thinking about it and write a few lines.
