Waiting at the Door Poem – A Dog’s Loving Message From Heaven 2025
Lena Hope"Even though it broke your heart, you set my spirit free. So please be brave without me... I'll be waiting at the door."
When a beloved dog passes away, many of us feel their absence in the quietest corners of our home — especially near the door. That familiar spot where tails once wagged and paws danced now holds silence and memory. The "Waiting at the Door" poem captures this feeling in the most touching way, written from the perspective of your dog, reminding you that their love lives on beyond the physical.
📖 Full Text: Waiting at the Door
I was just a pup when we first met,
I loved you from the start.
You picked me up and took me home,
And placed me in your heart.
Good times we had together,
We shared all life could throw,
But years passed all too quickly,
My time has come to go.
I know how much you miss me,
I know your heart is sore,
I see the tears that fall when
I’m not waiting at the door.
You always did your best for me,
Your love was plain to see,
Even though it broke your heart,
You set my spirit free.
So please be brave without me,
One day we’ll meet once more,
For when you’re called to Heaven,
I’ll be waiting at the door.
