One Last Farewell

by Diane Wright

I had to put you to sleep. It broke my heart to witness your pain. I felt it better to let you go than hang on. Neither of us would have anything to gain. You were old, and your body very tired. Quality of life not the same as before. I felt it best to let you go to be Heaven bound. Where your spirit is free to soar. I remember you as a small kitten. Alone in a cage, but not concerned for your fate. You knew someone would come and release you, As God and the angels told you to wait. We had some happy times together. Even though you were not given the chance to roam, You seemed content to be with me, As we spent time together at home. There were lovely times joining hearts in love. You knew when I was emotionally depressed. And it bothered you to see such hurt. Many times, you jumped on my lap giving a caress. I will miss you when I dont feel well. You wont be there curled up next to my head. Watching me to make sure I am all right; Not suffering, but comfortable instead. I know we had some falling outs. Sometimes my rug received what the litter box should. I now wonder if that was not your fault. You tried to do the best you could. Such a smart cat with a high IQ. It was remarkable how your Godly love outpoured. I, on the floor, praying to God, And you raising your paw praising the Lord. I heard your voice one more time; Only a few hours after your demise. It startled me so that I thought you were here. Then I realized it was a heavenly cry. Carry on in Heaven, dear pet. Other animals are there near the Heavenly ridge, Where I will meet you soon one day. Together we will cross over the Rainbow Bridge.
