The silence after losing a beloved dog can feel overwhelming. For many, the bond shared with their furry friend was deeper than words — a connection of pure love and loyalty. When they’re gone, it can feel like a part of us has left too.
That’s why comforting poems written from the dog’s perspective are often the most healing. One of the most treasured is “When Tomorrow Starts Without Me.”
This poem gently reminds us that love doesn’t end with goodbye — and that even if we can’t see our dogs, their spirit stays close.
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me (Full Poem)
When tomorrow starts without me,And I'm not there to see,
The sun will rise and find your eyes,
All filled with tears for me.
I know how much you loved me,
As much as I loved you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And petted me with her hand.
I thought about our lives together,
I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there in your heart.
This poem from a deceased dog to their owner is a message of peace — written as though your pup is whispering from heaven, reminding you they’re okay, and still with you.
