A Parting Prayer for a Friend

 

Dear Lord, please open your gates

and call your angels

to come escort my beloved companion

to the Rainbow Bridge.

 

Assign him to a place of honor,

for he has been a faithful servant

and has always done his best to please me.

 

Bless the hands that send him to you,

for they are doing so in love and compassion,

freeing him from pain and suffering.

 

Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.

Help me remember the details of his life

with the love he has shown me.

And grant me the courage to honor him

by sharing those memories with others.

 

Let him remember me as well

and let him know that I will always love him.

And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise,

please allow Sammy to accompany those

who will bring me home.

 

Thank you, Lord,

for the gift of his companionship

and for the time we've had together.

 

And thank you, Lord,

for granting me the strength

to give him to you now.

 

Amen.
