My sweet angel

 My sweet angel,

I know where you are.
Beyond the clouds, beyond the pain,
where only peace and joy live.

But sometimes, I let myself imagine it more clearly.

I see the gates of Heaven opening slowly,
golden and radiant.
And there you are.
Waiting.

Not restless, not lonely—
but ready.
Your tail wagging with the rhythm of eternity.
Your eyes fixed on the horizon,
watching for me.

I know you’ll be the first to greet me.
You’ll run into my arms,
and the weight of grief will finally fall away.
No more goodbyes.
No more tears.
Just love, eternal and whole.

Until then,
I carry you here.
And I dream of the day I’ll find you
waiting at Heaven’s gate.
