Cat Nip Mice in Heaven

Folder: 
For my furkids

I thought the months would make it easier,
That time would heal my wounds-
I miss you, my baby girl, with everything in my heart.
I wish we were together instead of apart.
I thought I could forgive myself for your death-
I thought I could let go-
I no longer cry each night-
It still hurts so badly though.
Can I ever forgive myself?
Today you would have been one.
I feel so bad, so guilty,
Your life had just begun.
Are there cat nip mice in heaven?
I look up at night to see if you're playing among the stars.
In my mind, I wonder if you found your way to the rainbow bridge,
And in my heart I wonder if my wounds will ever become merely scars.
I know it was just a mistake that God took you from me.
Maybe he needed you more than I?
Do you sit in his lap and purr?
Or do you look down at me and cry?
I know I look up often and hope you're watching over me-
Some days it's harder than others to deal with the pain.
I look for answers to why you were taken away.
And when it storms, I wonder are there kitten tears in the rain?
You wrapped your paws around my soul
And you left love spots in my heart.
You're my angel kitten now.
It seems like forever that we've been apart.
Enjoy the fields of butterflies.
Until we are together again,
Enjoy the Cat tree in the sky,
And play with the cat nip mice in heaven.
Happy birthday my sweet baby.
