I thought I glimsed you on the steps today,
but then I remembered you had gone away.
The pain in my heart was so intese
none of you not being here made sense.

You were playing as normal one snowy afternoon
I fell asleep listening to you purr, but you woke me with a groan,
and there
you laid, all alone.
I rushed to you and held you in my arms
But I knew the time I would always dread had come.

I wonder if you are running and chasing butterflies
but the pain I feel of your absence here just make me cry.
There wasn't enough time
to tell you all you meant
that you were my little girl, not just a pet.

I feel as if I will grieve forever,
but everyone says things will get better.
How can that be; it seems so unreal
how can anyone possible know how I feel.

I love you little one
and I want you to know
I would take you in all over again
and save you and give you a home.

But your love is what saved me instead
from being alone
you were always there to listen
when I came home.

Always there and always steady
never wavering you love was ready.
How do I go on without your sweet face
and act as if I did not lose my base.

I know though that I will see
you through the clouds as happy as can be.
So, run and play; never mind my tears
for when we meet again there will be no more years.....only forever together and never again any fears.
