For Calico, My Baby Kitten, May You Rest In Peace

My tiny Calico,
So sorry I had to let you go
I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't know what to do
I had to stop your pain
Before I went insane
I hurt you by accident
Your pain I caused without intent
I hope you can forgive me
For letting you be
Close your eyes,
Know that nothing really ever dies
Dream away,
Tomorrow brings a better day
Be happy in Heaven
I'll see you there once again


Dedicated to my 10 month old kitten Calico, who I chose to put to sleep, before Christmas, 
after hurting her back left paw acciendently.  Was too depressed to post it then.  Sadly, no 
vet in my area would treat her without a fee.  She had been hurt for about 3 weeks, and I 
prayed for her to get better, but she didn't.  She was a loving, affectionate kitten, and I will 
miss her forever.  I love you, my Lovebug kitten. Mommy.
