| Weep Not for Me Far above the sad dark Earth, I have found my place in the sky, I would be completely happy, But I see the sadness in your eyes. I know I was your special cat, And that you loved me so, I heard the breaking of your heart, But still, I had to go. I remember our walks in the sun, The way you would pet my head, How you worried when I was out at night Until I was safe in bed. I heard you pray to God, You begged Him to let me stay. It was not the Maker's fault, I had to go away. Look around and you will see I am never far from you and your love. I stand here at the edges of Heaven, Watching over you from above. Please don't spend your time Mourning me early and late For I opened my eyes and beheld wonder Standing at Heaven's gate. Don't blame yourself for what had to be We had together three happy years. Let my tribute be your laughter, Stain not my memory with tears. I am better now, Mistress, If only you could see, I am happier than I had even hoped For your love's light wings did carry me. Your care made my days a Heaven, Your compassion did set me free, And though I am at the feet of the Maker- My love will forever with you be. |
| You're giving me a special gift, So sorrowfully endowed, And through these last few cherished days, Your courage makes me proud. But really, love is knowing When your best friend is in pain, And understanding earthly acts Will only be in vain. So looking deep into your eyes, Beyond, into your soul, I see in you the magic, that will Once more make me whole. The strength that you possess, Is why I look to you today, To do this thing that must be done, For it's the only way. That strength is why I've followed you, And chose you as my friend, And why I've loved you all these years... My partner till the end. Please, understand just what this gift You're giving, means to me, It gives me back the strength I've lost, And all my dignity. You take a stand on my behalf, For that is what friends do. And know that what you do is right, For I believe it too. So one last time, I breathe your scent, And through your hand I feel, The courage that's within you, To now grant me this appeal. Cut the strings that holds me here, Dear friend, and let me run, Once more a strong and steady cat My pain and struggle done. And don't despair my passing, For I won't be far away, Forever here, within your heart, And memory I'll stay. I'll be there watching over you, Your ever faithful friend, And in your memories I'll run, ... a young cat once again. |
