LOVING THOUGHTS OF BLANCO - APRIL 13,1980 TO DECEMBER 15,1998 You brought happiness and joy; As you licked away the tears, Felt the anguish of a human; Helped banish all the fears. As a kitten I held you; Then watched as you grew, What would the fates hold; No one really knew. Soft and fluffy; A little ball of fur, To love and nurture; Cat antics, a soft purr. At times we were harsh; Angrily casting you away, But your love never wavered; Near Keri you would lay. You were the ultimate; No doubt like your mother. How regal you were; There could never be another. You taught us dignity; So serious could you be If a problem arose; From trouble you would flee. Giving unconditional love; From the day of your birth, My best friend forever; Right down on earth. Rest in peace sweet Blanco; As one last tear I shed, To gently place you; in your final resting bed. A special place in heaven; Never more will you roam, God has called to tell you; It's time to come home. In all of God's creatures; Your presence will I see, Illuminated forever; In our hearts eternally. Inspired by God and lovingly written by Marian Caracciolo in 1998 For Keri Freeman
