You turned around and around on the carpet at the base of the bed last night, the way you always do to get that right spot in your imaginary field of grass, I heard you let out that low moan that you always do when you are settled in and happy . I know that then you are happy and safe and warm in front of the heater getting ready to dream your dreams . I was half awake , or maybe half asleep but I felt so good to hear you get settled for the night, untill your sister Katie jumped on the bed ,after running in from the living room , and she woke me up, asking me in her own way where is my smokey man, where is my brother? and it was then I remembered that you where gone from us, many months before. I held her for a long time that night and did not turn on the light thinking that maybe you were there and it would scare you away. Thanks for stopping by to see me and letting me know that you are safe and secure and happy at the rainbows bridge and if you ever need to stoop by the feel the warmth of the heater or the smell of the house please stop by and stay longer, I miss you ...
