It's been nearly four months that we've been apart,
Finally good memories of you fill my heart,
Trying to get through that difficult time,
Many days all I could do was cry,
Replace you was the thought flooding my head,
Another labX to lie next to me in bed,
It took some time to figure out,
That replacing you Benny,is not what it's about,
I've stopped looking for that Bordie Collie/Lab,
And my days continued with me being sad,
But last month, an angel ran in front of me,
A grey DSH, just 4 weeks,
A feral kitten living in the woods,
I grabbed her scruff and hung on as long as I could,
She bit me and hissed trying to get away,
A gift from you is not what crossed my mind on this day,
I'm starting to believe she was sent from above,
For when I picked her up my heart filled with love,
The thought of letting her go I couldn't bear,
And now lying on the bed, her tiger fur soaks up my tears,
Her rough little tongue scratched when she gives me a kiss,
your soft gentle licks I sure do miss,
I'll always love you,
this I'm sure,
But this angel named Skylar,
I really adore!
So long for now,
My forever friend,
As months have gone by,
My heart begins to mend,
I wasn't looking for a kitty pet,
but as she lies in my arms, I have no regrets,
I'll always miss you Ben, your one of a kind,
And forever, you'll always be mine,
At the Rainbow Bridge, we'll meet again,
But until then you've sent me a friend...
