What an inspiration dear Kiera is to us all. What a lesson she has gifted us with that love lasts for ever and enfolds us all. Anna has given me permission to post the latest news about Kiera and to post Kiera’s most recent poem to us all. The whole creation groans and awaits redemption. Redemption will come for the whole of creation. That is for certain. Please scroll down right to the poem.
Anna’s message and pictures and Kiera’s poem. What a beautiful gift and inspiration….
Re yesterday’s post and Kiera’s poem….she is very quiet and breathless this morning but still with us. Thankyou all for your wonderfully supportive comments. We can feel all the love coming our way and I am convinced it helps. Xx
Kiera speaks again….. It seems she is now very consciously preparing for her transition….
Remember me on this day Please take note of what I say… I can no longer manage walks But still enjoy our little talks… Sitting now by the fire I wish to share what will inspire…. CHERISH IN NATURE ALL YOU SEE EVERY FLOWER AND EVERY TREE ALL THE CREATURES LARGE AND SMALL GIVE YOUR LOVE TO THEM ALL. Then wait and see How you will be….
And when at last, I have ‘passed’ That sudden tap on your face.. Those special arms that embrace Will be Nature’s Blessing… Her healing caressing…. And in the timeless zone of mist, I will come and share a kiss.. I’ll wing my way o’er cloud and sea And you’ll recognize its me. For this is knowledge all must know Rainbow Bridge goes to AND fro.
Note: Kiera is unwell at present having suffered a stroke. She is safe in the loving hands of Anna and Rosanne. Below are two poems by Kiera sent to me by Anna. In the first poem Kiera laments the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll and at the same time pays homage to her late Majesty’s great love of animals. In the second poem, communicated a few days ago to Anna, Kiera bravely faces her own mortality and encourages us to believe that love goes on for ever.
A Tribute to Her Late Majesty
A tribute to our dear late Queen Elizabeth
By Kiera
Our Queen has died
This makes me sad…
If I’d known her
I would have had
Such gentle strokes
For she was kind
Such love from her
I would find
A Royal kiss
She would place
Right upon
My furry face
I think on me
She would dote
Her gentle hand
Would stroke my coat
Of all this
I am sure
She was Queen
Her word was law..
She loved us all
This I know
It’s sad to learn
She had to go..
It’s the end
Of her reign
I’m just a dog
But feel the pain
I need to say
One more thing,
Welcome Charles
Our new King!!
Kiera – A Reflection
“Go free”, I heard
“It’s your choice”
But the sound of your voice
Awakened me….
I had one paw on Rainbow Bridge,
Then two…
But I turned
And looked at you….
Your moistened eyes
And soft goodbyes
So touched my heart
I could not part
Not this night…..
The yonder light
Began to fade
And so I stayed….
Such love and healing
Has left me feeling
Renewed in strength
Until at length
I had no pain
And breathed again.
But love is constant, has no end
Remember this, my dear Friend…
My time will come and when it does
It will be right for both of us.

“It is 5 years ago exactly that I went to Many Tears in Llanelli to pick up this beauty! Kiera is my constant and trusty companion and as many of you know. …even sends poems over the ether to me. She is delightful and I have never regretted collecting her. From Romania to the UK…..her story is a huge success!”
Kiera also remembers. Anna sent me this poem by Kiera:
I love to run and dash, enjoy and splash.. Memories so part of me, fading now….. Like mists which rise and fall Into a deep nothingness…. And yet Somewhere deep within I was once loved…… My mind expands to far off lands For one brief moment… I remember. … But soon returns for I am here…forever near To the One who breathes love And cares for me…. An echo from my plight, a shaft of light It’s always there, deep and asleep In my doggy soul….

Kiera speaks again…….
Wait! As my soul absorbs, Echoes of times past… The traces of paws Of those now dead Who have trod This place, this bed….. Their ashes are scattered Tears were shed Each one mattered But now lives on In Nature……. The birds and earth-bound trees The brackens and rustling breeze, The whirling of streams Curling and twirling Ever dashing and splashing There is no end But hearts can mend LOVE is here, it has been As I sit, I have seen………
Thank you to Anna Wilkinson for passing on Kiera’s poem to me
I have posted before about our dear Indy who went ahead of us to the Rainbow Bridge on 21 May 2021. When Indy was about 18 months old, in 2012, I made a YouTube video of Indy playing hide and seek with my wife. A few days ago my grandson told me that the video has been viewed over 20K times (actually over 23800 views). I never knew. What a tribute to our faithful friend, companion and protector. Please scroll down. There you will find a link to the YouTube video and a picture of where Indy’s ashes are buried – beneath some white flowers next to the gate where she often lay, guarding us.
