I am only Asleep

Do not despair,
For I am only asleep,
Beyond the yonder far,
Where green pasture lay,
I am there,
Running, jumping playing with my new friends,
Do not despair,
For I am only asleep.

Do not despair,
For I am only asleep,
No longer in pain,
No longer suffering,
No longer needing sustenance,
For where I am, love is that sustenance,
Do not despair
For I am only asleep

Do not despair
For I am only asleep,
The tears you shed,
Let it be tears of joy,
For I have finally found peace,
My soul have soared,
Do not despair
For I am only asleep.

Do not despair,
For I am only asleep,
My body may have no life,
But my soul is alive,
But if my life open people's hearts and minds,
It was worth it, my life mattered,
Do not despair,
For I am only asleep.

Do not despair,
For I am only asleep,
The day will come where we will be together,
Where no hate, anger or fear,
Where only love is showered on us,
Do not despair,
For I am only asleep

Our little bonnie who left us way too soon.
