Tribute To The Black Cat
T'was the
week before Halloween when our black cat lost his life
Someone
foolish hurt him so badly that he died.
Anyone
who's lost a pet cat must wonder where it goes
When the
life within him leaves the body at its death.
You've gone
to a place not far from here where
the weather is warm
throughout the year
Where the
grass is green and the sky is so blue
Where it
is never quite dark, or never quite light
The Place
you are in has cats here and there
with peaceful
purring sounds everywhere!
There are
catfood cans stacked as tall as the sky
Where the
water bowls are never left dry
And there's
mice here to chase, but they never get hurt
all over
this place.
As you look
down you see that your old wound is gone
Your body,
once lifeless was made again strong.
Amazed
you gazed at the pool of blue fleck
Where the
cats here can swim, and never get wet
And tall
trees to climb, with wide fields of Catnip
Something's
missing you think as you walk down a path
Suddenly
you see a gold bridge up ahead
Rainbow
colors shine from it as you get closer
Then a
cloudiness forms, stops your way across the bridge.
And a beautiful
Angel suddenly appears.
"Shadow"
she says in a voice so sweet
"Your in
a place where you must wait."
Then another
cat whisked by so fast across the bridge
The clouds
parted and a Sunshine burst in.
Then Shadow
saw what was in store
The cat
was reunited with his family once more.
The joy,
the peace made Shadow happy again
So he ran
the tall grass by the streams of deep blue
Where the
cats here can swim, and never get wet
And tall
trees to climb, with wide fields of Catnip
A Cat came
to him, Shadow was surprised to see
She was
purring so loudly, happy as he
It was his
long lost mate Samantha, who he was trying to find
The same
day he died.
The two
cats together they both ran with joy
over the
fields of green, near the streams of blue
Where the
cats here can swim, and never get wet
And tall
trees to climb, with wide fields of Catnip
