Patches, My Love
6/3/79 – 3/8/89
Angel Girl, it’s been so long
since you have gone away.
I wish that we could meet again,
if only for one day.
I see you still, a tiny kit,
a baby cat just borne.
You claimed my heart with your first breath
And to this day I mourn.
My kit of many colors,
My darling little friend;
You chose me above all others
So loyal to the end.
Your eyes of gold shone pure with love;
I knew that I was blessed.
A precious gift sent from up above;
So different from the rest.
At night you lay so close to me;
so safe within my arms.
I wanted more than anything
to keep you safe from harm.
We played and laughed and purred
and loved until that rainy day.
Then all the love that we two shared
could not help you to stay.
I think sometimes, in darkest night,
that I still hear your purr.
I reach across, where you should be,
in sleep to touch your fur.
I know that we will meet again;
but now just run and play.
Be happy, dearest little love…
I’ll hold you some fine day.
My Patches, My Forever Love…I will hold you in my heart until the day comes when I can hold you in my arms again.
Gone But Not Forgotten,
