King Bing (the God Cat)

by Susan Lynch

King Bing (the God Cat) You were the God Cat we all called King Bing, The ultimate deity of everything. You ruled the yard and our whole neighborhood, To us, you were loving, and faithful, and good. You appeared on this earth to take a brief rest From the grand, awesome job (only you could do best) Of helping each Bridge Kid to find a new home With someone whod spent far too much time alone. That was the way you came into our lives, To show us the way to be kind, fair, and wise. To value the things that make the most sense, To help us relax and unwind be less tense! We're only human we want you to know. We had no idea just how much love youd show. When we showed a lack of much understanding, You were tender, accepting and so undemanding! You accepted us truly, just as you found us. You taught us respect for all those around us (Even if, sometimes, we couldnt stand them) You taught us its not nice to reprimand them. You were our Guru, protector, and friend. You taught us to live life with grace to the end. The world was your oyster, and you were our star, Thank you, King Bing (the God Cat), wherever you are! Written with love by Susan Lynch for Bingo (1979 1993)
