Ode to Cassie Sue

by Jeanie Gregerson

Ode To Cassie Sue Once I had two little Papillons, as dear as dear can be. Two cute little sisters full of pep, as sweet as honey bees. Together they danced and played, here and there, all over the place I could watch for hours these pups perform with butterfly grace. They filled my house and heart with so much love and joy. They never chewed shoes or anything, they did nothing to make me annoyed. When I would say to them girls want to go for a walk?, Theyd jump and whine, and carry on just to go around the block. 9 years had passed and our love grew and grew for each other. They were my pals, my friends, my girls, and I was their loving mother. Every day Id say to them Youre so cute, I wuv you sooo much. Come here Cassie Sue and Soxie Sue, so I can feel your touch.. Then one night we went to bed, you gave me my kiss night night, We all went to sleep and without A peep, Cassie that night, you died. You were gone, just like that, without a clue that anything was wrong. I woke up and looked for you, I found you close by, then I knew I screamed and was anything but strong. I held you so tight and rocked you awhile, and pleaded for you to come back. Soxie laid there so still and just stared at you, our world had just turned black. Its been 2 months, since I held you, and I miss you just the same. Soxie still mourns and is so very bored, Im afraid to say your name. They say with time our hearts will heal, and well smile when we think of you. We are learning to be just us two But we feel you near every now and then, our beautiful Cassie Sue. Go to the bridge, the Rainbow Bridge. Go find Jake somewhere, Hell show you around and teach you to play And Soxie will soon be there. Then thereafter I shall come and pick you up and ask you for a hug-a-bug. Youll lean your head under my chin Just like how we used to snug. We miss you, we love you, this can never change. Well live and well love each other But without you here it will be strange. So long my baby, so long my Cassie, So long my Angel Pie. We will meet again, the three of us In Gods heavenly sky. Once I had two little Papillons, And for now I just have one Love you forever and ever and ever, Mommy and Soxie Sue
