Please St Francis

St Francis gained a friend today
As our lovely cat passed away
Please Francis warmly greet
Let him play and dance your feet

He has been a friend for many years
His grave was blessed by family tears
He was sent to you to share your love
To sit your lap in heaven above

Today the cat passed away
For another place to play
Many tears on pillows tonight
And empty bowls at first light

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/19/2010 10:54:00 AM St. Francis was one of my favorite saints, Daniel. His rapport with animals always astonished me, especially when I was a child. I'm very sorry for your loss, but this is a loving way to remember your cat, sitting on St. Francis's lap. Those "empty bowls at first light" can really hurt, can't they? Beautifully written!
