I remember when I first saw you,
You were the smallest of bunch,
But you stole my heart that day,
And I knew we were a match.

I could see it in your big, bright eyes,
You didn't want me to leave,
You meowed real loud and said,
"Take me home, won't you please?"

I brought you home and fell in love,
You were more than just a cat,
You were my companion and a best friend,
My precious baby, girl.

You were a bundle of joy all dressed in black,
With your warm fur coat so soft,
You meowed and purred always at my touch,
Your tail would twitch and wag at everything I said.

You were full of life my little sprite,
Always eager to be at play,
You would watch and supervise all that I did every day,
You never failed to bring a smile to brighten up my day.

Through the years you were always there,
You always had something to say,
I enjoyed our little chats each and every day,
You were always at the door when I got home from work each day.

I loved to go to bed and feel you at my side,
Even when you woke me up to say, "Pet me daddy, it's time!"
Your purr was strong, you loved behind your ears scratched so,
You would hike your butt up in the air as I pet your back.

One afternoon you told me,
That you weren't feeling well that day,
I got on the phone and called Dr. K,
Who came over right away.

It wasn't long after that,
That you were back at play,
Always so loving and affectionate,
You made me happy every day.

That was two years ago,
And we made the most of each day,
Playing and chatting and lounging about,
Getting the most out of your life.

Then came the day when you told me,
That you were sick again,
I took you in arms and we ran off to see,
A nice woman in a white coat who took care of your needs.

Everything was right again,
But alas it wasn't meant to be,
The sickness came back to claim you,
And took you away from me.

Every day since you left me,
Is so very hard to bear,
I cry myself to sleep every day,
Just wishing that you were here.

I reach out to touch you,
Then realize that you aren't there,
I know you are at peace and not suffering,
But the pain is so hard to bear.

I need a sign from you to let me know that you're okay,
Do I still have your love,
Do I have your forgiveness,
From what I did that day?

I want you to know that I love you,
And that I miss you so much every day,
I would give anything to have you back,
I didn't want it to end this way.

I raise my head and look up to the sky,
Hoping that you can hear me,
There will come a day when I'll see you again,
And it can't come fast enough for me.

I know that you are running free and basking in the sun,
Playing with the other cats on the grass that is so green,
With rolling hills and lush meadows,
With water that is crisp and clean.

Rest In Peace my baby girl,
I'll think of you each day,
Until that day on Rainbow's Bridge,
Until the day we meet again.

I love you Midnight-Dad
