I will miss those bright round golden eyes
And your loving heart bursting with eagerness
That soft gentle purr that deeply lulls me into peaceful dreams
And longing thoughts of home
I will miss you, silly little angel kitten, lighting up the room
Cluttering it with lots of string and bells for play
And long, languid scratches on the back porch rails
As if a fierce tiger dropped by to pay a visit
I will miss that warm gentle body protecting me from the winter frost
With a soft fur coat wrapped in a timy multi colored ball of fluff
And all the fun we had throughout the years
I will miss your sweet unselfish soul wanting only to be loved
Knowing no sense of time at all
Living each and every moment to the fullest
Until your time on earth is done
Your trusting face knowing now that it's time to cross
The Rainbow Bridge and that
No one will deny you the right to go
Sleep now, my darling, forever, in my arms
Find great oaks to climb and butterflies to tease
Dream of sunshine, grass and wondrous curiosities
Challenge high places and seek dark secret cozy corners
That no one else can ever find
Jump up high into the clouds
And strong into endless fields of sweet clover
Remember the warmth of my touch
As you silently breathe your last breath
Upon my far too frail human skin
That will miss your comfort when the night is cold
As you life ebbs from your tired old soul
And you mewl a deep quiet sigh one last time
I feel your worries and your pain melt quietly away
Relief surrounds you as your spirit finally rests
And effortlessly floats freely among the stars
Wait for me, dear one, please, on that Rainbow Bridge
With your tender kitten ways and your kitten love
Nuzzle me with your faithful trust
Keep me always safely in your heart
As I will keep you forever in mine
Goodbye Itty Bitty Kitty
Your courage is inspiration to us all
Someday we will meet again, little one,
This I promise you
Tired old soul........yes. While it is so sad for them to go, we understand that it is their time, and they are ready. I will read these again when Dice passes, which I believe won't be too far off.
Thank you.
