The time has come for Katy to move on.
I was blessed to have her in my life for over 21 years.
Where is she now? Is she with Tiger and Lovie?
Does she watch from above? Or is she still here in spirit?
I thought she was here the other day
when I heard the music box play.
It moved on its own, no wind was to be found.
Jeremy heard it too. I said it must be Katy.
He didn't respond, but he heard the sound.
I look at the box of her ashes on the shelf
and think of the day when she was young and played.
She didn't play in the latter years. She just sat around.
Where did the time go? 21 years went by in a flash.
Tomorrow will be four weeks since she passed.
Is she in peace at last?
I held on to her as long as I could,
but, she had to move on as I knew she would.
Will time lessen the pain and the sorrow?
I miss her today and I will miss her tomorrow.
If you are listening Katy will you give me a sign?
Are you an angel or have you moved
on to one of your other nine lives?
I loved you Katy, more than you will ever know.
You're in my thoughts and in my heart.
Goodbye for now. I hope time will heal the pain
that I feel now since we've been apart.
