Would North Be True?

Gentle On My Mind

"It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursin' or forgivin'
When I walk along some railroad track and find,
That you're movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind."

Paige (King Of Helluland A Star Is Born)

"If I should meet thee
after long years,
How should I greet thee,
With silence and tears."
(Lord Byron)

My Eternal Friend

I lost a treasured friend today
The big dog who used to lay
His gentle head upon my knee
And shared his silent thoughts with me.

He’ll come no longer to my call
Retrieve no more his favorite ball
A voice far greater than my own
Has called him to his golden throne.

Although my eyes are filled with tears
I thank him for the happy years
He let him spend down here with me
And for his love and loyalty.

When it is time for me to go
And join him there, this much I know
I shall not fear the transient dark
For he will greet me with a bark.

Once Upon A Day Dream

If you're afraid of giving me little caresses,
Know that I haven't forgotten a single one.
If you regret screaming at me once,
Know that I don't even remember.
If you think you've left me too much time alone,
Know that I've always been waiting for you.
If you're afraid you've devoted me little time,
Know that I, even of this little, enjoyed every moment of it.
If you think you've played little with me,
Know that I never counted the times you threw the ball at me.
If you think I forgot your perfume,
Know that even now I feel it in the wind.
If you wanted to be born in another life,
Know that I wish I was your dog there too.
If you think you have faults,
Know that you have been perfection to me.
If you believe love can have an end,
Know that in my heart, the place for love is infinite.
If you think you have regrets about me, know that I wouldn't change a second of the life I spent with you.
If you think I can't hear your voice when you call me, just entrust the evening breeze with the task of bringing your words to me.
If you think I can forget your face,
Know that I wish I could have lived just to enjoy your eyes.
If you think I could have loved someone more than you,
Know that I loved you more than myself.
If you think I would have been lying on a soft couch,
Know that I would have slept with you even on the stones.
If you think I wanted more than you gave me,
Know that I've always felt like the happiest and richest dog in the world.
If sometimes you've been lonely,
Know that I've never left my place next to you.
If you think my life has been short,
Know that I wouldn't have wanted to live another minute if I hadn't spent it by your side.
If you fear that I will not be close to you anymore,
Know that as soon as you close your eyes, I will stand by your side.
If you think you didn't make the right choice,
Know that I've always trusted you.
Always.
If you ever dream of being able to see me again,
Know that I'll be there waiting for you, like I always did.
