Product Description
by Hugh Morrison (Author)
'I will not think those good brown eyes/ Have spent their life of truth so soon;/But in some canine paradise/Your wraith, I know, rebukes the moon...'The death of a beloved pet can be traumatic, and many people nowadays wish to mark the passing of their animals with a ceremony or memorial of some sort. Websites sometimes suggest poems that are overly sentimental or poorly written. This book, however, contains beautiful poems and reflections about the animals in our lives, written by some of history's greatest authors including Rudyard Kipling, William Wordsworth and Matthew Arnold. It also includes some short meditations by religious writers about the future life of animals. Whether you are seeking inspiration for pet funeral readings or simply private consolation, this book will be of help.
