DON’T GRIEVE TOO LONG

Don’t grieve too long for now I’m free. I’m following the path God set for me.
I ran to Him when I heard His call, I wagged my tail and left it all.
I could not stay another day, to bark, to love, to romp or play.
Games left unplayed must stay that way. I found such peace it made my day.

My parting has left you with a void, so fill it with your remembered joy.
A friendship shared, your laugh, a kiss; oh yes, these things I too shall miss.
My life’s been full, you’ve given so much – your time, your love and gentle touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free!

About the Artist

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
