Cat Loss Quotes

“To my dearest friend,

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.

I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.

I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,

"Its me, I haven't left, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, Iwatched you pour the tea.

You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops; your arms were getting sore.

I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.

I want to reassure you, that I am not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for the key.

I gently put my paw on you; I smiled and said ''its me''.

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.

I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

Its possible for me to be so near you everyday.

To say with certainty, "I never went away".

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew

in the stillness of the evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over..... I smile and watch you yawning, and say "goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,

I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out..... then come home to me.”
