The Death of Love…The Last Connection

I remember the joy that you brought me China; I remember the three of us with a smile.

I remember the games we used to play and all the sweet memories that will remain awhile.

I remember how you would sneak around corners and lie in stealthy wait for me.

I remember so many good things about YOU…HER, and ME.

Yet now I just watch you slowly die, and it breaks an already fragile and broken heart.

Oh now as I look into your kitty cat eyes; I see HER, I see YOU, and how you too will part.

If I thought this home was silent before, I wonder now how much more the silence will be.

I promise you, even though to some you are just a cat…I will like unto Leah be there for thee.

So long now my little one…may your journey to the other side be one of a soft sweet sleep.

I will miss you so very much, and even though you are to some just a cat…I WILL weep.

So I ask this of my GOD…I ask how much more can this my tender heart take.

If there is such a thing as a kitty cat heaven, it is there that I am sure you will make.

I will miss you China so very much…you were a part of her, OH GOD, I HAVE LOST SO MUCH.
