For pets that have gone on to rainbow bridge.....

Is there a song that really gives you peace and makes you think of your friend at Rainbow Bridge?


For my dog Princess (toy poodle) who passed 3 years ago (4 years this may) I have a song. I'll tell you not a day goes by that I don't think of her. She is always with me. 3 years and I am still greiving but it got better.....the first year was hard. It got easier the next year and now I miss her but it doesn't hurt as bad.

But I'm still homesick

The song is

"Homesick" by Mercy Me

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now




Do you have a song? I cried the first time I heard this song. I heard it the day after she passed.

I do too, it encompasses all my passed pets.

Lonestar - I'm already there.

Now whether or not I make it "there" is questionable though, lol.

I love that song

Circle of Life- Elton John, for one of my dogs

For My heart dog.............there is another "Lonestar" song- the one by Norah Jones
I imagine singing it to her, and she will shine down from wherever she is
