Quietly.....

They will not go quietly,
the cats who have shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives.
Old habits still make us think
we hear a meow at the door.
Or step back when we drop
some turkey meat on the floor.
Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.
And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
that one place in our hearts 
belongs to them...
and always will.

Until we meet again our furriend,
Zena, Scraps, Neek and Jordan

Wed Winks KeeKee and Neek

Here they pose as
Wilma and Fred Flintstone
in the 2007 Halloween Contest.

As lovers always do,
Neek and Keek cuddle in his Pink Caddy.

"A CAT'S POEM OF LOVE"

I stood by your bed last night, I stopped to take a peek.

I could see that you were crying; you found it hard to sleep.

I purred 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 your 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 wished I could do more

I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care

I wanted to reassure you that I'm not lying there!

I walked with you toward 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 then you 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 every day

And tell you with certainty, "I never went away".

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew

That in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over...I smile and watch you yawn

And say, "Goodnight, sweet dreams, God Bless, I'll see you in the dawn.

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide

I'll rush to greet you and we'll stand together, forever side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there's much for you to see...

Be patient, live your journey out

Then come home and be with me.
