Love and Loss

Two small butterscotch eyes look up at me.
As I weep sobs of sorrow and pain
My tears fall from my face like rain.
I hear the gentle soothing purrs of my small yellow cat
As I fall to me knees from where I sat.
The thought of my loved one so slowely passed,
It all happened oh so fast.
One minute she was there,
and the next I knew not where.
I am so ready for that day
When God will come and see her I may.
The loss of a grandmother is oh so hard
But your love and feelings should not be barred.
And now I must not cry
For it is time to say goodbye.
