~Cats~

 

I grew up with cats all my life.  Two of my favorite pictures

of myself when I was young...was of me playing with some baby

kittens.  I used to sneak kittens into my bed at night

(through a side door) when I stayed at my grandmother's house.

The next morning...."Granny" would be hollering at me 

and the cats.....for some reason ???

Pet's Prayer (for any pet)

If it should be that I grow frail and weak

And pain should keep me from my sleep,

Then you must do what must be done,

For this last battle can't be won.

 

You will be sad - I understand

Don't let your grief then stay your hand.

For this day, more than the rest,

Your love and friendship stand the test.

 

We've had so many happy years,

What is to come -- can have no fears.

You'd not want me to suffer, so,

When the time comes, please let me go.

 

Take where my needs they'll tend,

Only stay with me until the end.

And hold me firm and speak to me,

Until my eyes no longer see.

 

I know in time you to will see,

It is the kindness you do to me.

Although my tail it's last has waved,

From pain and suffering I've been saved.

 

Don't grieve that it should be you,

Who has to decide this thing to do.

We've been so close, we two these years,

Don't let your heart hold any tears.

 

Smile, for we've been together for a while.
