   Way back in July when I was a pretty new TDKer I posted a poem I'd written the night before I said a final farewell to my beloved Titch. Lots of people said at the time they liked it, and were going to copy it...well I posted it again tonight for Beanie's owner (the link on the Really Touching Story thread), and thought as we've grown so much in the last few months, some of the newer additions to our wonderful family might also like and take some comfort from it. So here it is :

   Night night furball
   Close your eyes
   Dream of chasing butterflies
   Basking in the sunshine
   Jumping up trees
   Exciting smells in a gentle breeze

   Sleep tight furball
   Love you little friend
   I’m so sorry this is the end
   Thanks for the laughter
   Thanks for the tears
   Thanks for all the loving years

   God bless furball
   Don’t be afraid
   I know that you can be brave
   Be peaceful in passing
   Enjoy what’s in store
   In furball heaven
   It won’t hurt anymore

   OH my goodness.... I don't recall that from the first time around. That is beautiful... and sadly I may need to pass it along soon. A dear friend is about to lose her Skye. He's 17 and not much more than skin and bones.

   This poem is for anyone and everyone to pass onto to whoever they think it might help. We've all been there, it's horrible. My love to your friend One Popoki.

   OP, my prayers are with your friend. It's hard to lose a member of your family, but it sometimes is the best thing.

   I definitely remember this poem. Brought me to tears, as I had just lost my 15-yo siamese, Dixie.

   I've written eleguies to some of my beloved babies, but nothing quite so.... so.... universal.
   Thank you mcw.

    It's such a sad time again for some of our TDKers, I'll bounce this again - see the first post, I hope it brings some comfort to the newly bereaved.

    Dang it MCW, now I'm bawling again. Thanks for posting it, I guess I missed it other time around. Boy, it sure seems like our family has lost a lot of beloved friends lately. A ray of good news was hearing about your mum, so how nice to know the move is soon.

    Beautiful, MCW. I wish I had seen that back in July when we lost our Bombalurina. But that's what I told her - it won't hurt ever again. I sure do miss that chubby kitty :-(

    Thank you, MCW. I read it aloud so that Jiggs could hear my voice from Cat Heaven. *snif* Sad, but happy because he's ok now and God will make sure I see him again someday.

    I wrote this one for Huddy's Mama a while back. I hope you don't mind me sharing it again. It was therapeutic for me as well:

    There is something special about the love from a cat.
    Our felines choose us, Now how about that?
    Freedom, independence, no rules-that's the life
    With sharp teeth and claws, not strangers to strife.
    And yet they choose us and devoted they stay,
    Multiplying our love with each passing day.
    We feed them and pamper them, for we are in their debt.
    They made the willing journey, from dumpster cat to pampered pet.
    Through ups and through downs, our most devoted friends.
    Even the hardest times, furry love transcends.
    Some of us are lucky, and share with them many years.
    And yet still the end comes, and we cry many tears.
    Don't fret human mama, cry for your feline child.
    Your tears fill the river to carry him long miles.
    There sits the Rainbow Bridge just around that next bend.
    A lovely place to wait until you are reunited again.
