My Beautiful Blue eyed boy I had never loved a cat before and never thought that I could but then into my life you came and I had a whole new world opened up to me. You were my best friend such a kind and gentle soul. I can still see your big blue eye's looking up at me from your bed in front of the heater and chirping your little chirp when I spoke to you. I miss you snuggled up under my blankets stealing my water bottle and the purr that was only ever for me. Only 10 months old such a short life but you made such a big impression on me and taught me the love of a cat and for that dear Gus I am eternally gratefull to you my dear friend. I wish there was more that I could have done however any treatment would have been in vain and that breaks my heart that there was nothing that I could have done. It is such as shame though that after all the pain that we suffered having to make the heartbreaking decision to let you free from your pain was added to by the person who brought you into this world accusing me of making the wrong decision but they didn't see your pain and I take solace in the fact that I did what was right by you and that is all that matters.
Love you my pure white blue eyed baby boy till we meet again

Beyond the Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

Your tears fall
Your heart aches
Your baby has gone away
Gone to heaven to play
The memories remain
Of the happy days
A meow and a purr
As you feel the soft fur
You gave your love
No more could you do
A short life of joy
For your baby and you
Off to heaven
your angel has gone
but within your heart
the love will live on
Standing in sorrow
and in your mind's eye
look into heaven
and please do not cry
For there in the Rainbow garden
Stands God and in his arms
An angel softly purring
It's your baby, safe from harm

Precious Love

The agony is so great...
and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much...
I would not hurt so much.
But God knows I would not want to diminish
that precious love...
By one fraction of an ounce.
I will hurt...
And I will be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of my love.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.

xxAsk My Mum How She Is...

My Mum, she tells a lot of lies,
She never did before.
But from now until she dies,
She'll tell a whole lot more.

Ask my Mum how she is
And because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie
Because she can't describe the pain.

Ask my Mum how she is,
She'll say "I'm alright."
If that's the truth, then tell me,
why does she cry each night ?

Ask my Mum how she is,
She seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice you see,
Nor the strength to yell.

Ask my Mum how she is,
"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping."
For God's sake Mum, just tell the truth,
Just say your heart is broken.

She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how she is,
She'll lie and say she's fine.

I am Here in Heaven.
I cannot hug her from here.
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.

On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say, "You're lucky to get in here, Mum,
With all the lies you told!"

I Remember

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.

Always missed. xx

♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥
Your favorite chair is vacant now...
No eager purrs to greet me.
No softly padded paws to run
Ecstatically to meet me.

♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥

No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry
Will say it's time for feeding.
I've put away your bowl, and all
The things you won't be needing;

♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥

But I will miss you little friend,
For I could never measure
The happiness you brought me,
The comfort and the pleasure.

♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥

And since God put you here to share
In earthly joy and sorrow;
I'm sure there'll be a place for you
In Heaven's bright tomorrow...

Feline Spirit

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

"A Pet's prayer"

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
and pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done, For this the last battle, Can't be won.

You will be sad I understand
Dont let grief then stay in your hand,
For this day, More than the rest,
Your love and friendship stands the test.

We have had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears,
You would not want me to suffer, so,
When the time comes, Please let me go.

Take me where my need's they'll tend
Only, Stay with me to the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Untill my eye's no longer see

I know in time you will see,
It is the kindest thing for me
Although my tail last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.

Don't grieve it should be you
Who decides this thing to do,
We've been so close, we two, these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Smile for such wonderfull friends we've been.
