In Memory of A Beloved Cat
Weep not for me though I am gone into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my souls at rest.
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed.
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.

I Have Slipped
The Surly Bonds of Earth...
Put Out My Hand (paw)
And Touched the Face of God.
Fly free, dear Joey.

The only consolation of saying goodbye to someone you love is the glimmer of hope that someday after that goodbye there will be another hello.
