A Letter From the Cat

I slept on your bed through the night guarding you, with all my might. Bugs and thugs I kept at bay 'til the night had gone away. Your protector I will be. We are a team , you and me, and when I'm purring you will know its time to let all bad thoughts go. I am the meditation for your soul. Loving you, my only goal. Pet my ears, converse with me. There is no place I'd rather be. We are a team, you and I, and will be 'til the day I die. But 'til then please do not forget that I was more than just a pet. A piece of me will always stay in the part of your heart I stole away. For I was loyal, I was true, so when I pass please don't be blue. But that time, its still far away. So find my toys, I want to play. Let's fill each day with a memory for you to look back on, of you and me.

Beautiful dedication to a family member who has passed. You must have that daily play...it's the best lesson cats teach us; to take time for play.
