Our paths will cross for only a short time.
While you are in my care, I will be devoted to you.
If memories of your former life are painful, I will help erase them.
No longer will you hunger. I will help heal your wounds. If your former life was good, I will promise you an even better future.

One day, our time together will come to an end.
You will go off to your new home, happy, healthy and healed.
As a parting gift, I will give you a piece of my heart to remember me by.
I may shed a tear..not for my loss..but for your gain.

Perhaps our paths may cross again for a fleeting instant
and I will be comforted by the aura of love that surrounds you.
There will always be a bond between us,
though we walk separate paths through this life.

After we reach our heavenly reward, our paths may cross again.
You may wish to return the piece of my heart, with thanks for all I did for you.
I will tell you to keep it and thank you for showing me that I could be better than I thought I could be.
And, that I learned in giving, came the greatest gift.

I, like you, came to understand what it meant to be saved!
