Heartfelt Memories of a Miracle Rattie
The special ones always leave too soon.
Perhaps the light of their life burns so much brighter that it burns a little faster too.
But it doesn’t fade when they pass on.
It simply changes form.
*
When ratties leave this world to go to the next, they become very powerful.
They have a way of influencing other ratties to find their way to us.
They also have the ability to fuse their soul into our being.
When the pain of their leaving begins to fade, look inside yourself for signs of their gift.
They are the things that make you stronger for knowing them
and for sharing your life with them.
——————————————————–
A tribute to all who live on in my heart …
All who share the precious gift of time with me today …
And all who are to come… I Love You
*
If Not For You
—————–
I would’ve died that day if not for you.
I would’ve given up on life if not
for your kind eyes.
I would’ve used my teeth in fear if not for your gentle hands.
I would have left this life believing
that all humans don’t care
*
Believing there is no such thing as fur that isn’t matted,
skin that isn’t scratched or bitten, good food and enough of it, beds to sleep on, someone to love me, to show me I deserve love just because I exist.
*
Your kind eyes, your loving smile, your gentle hands
Your big heart saved me…
You saved me from the pain,
Soothing away the memories of my old life.
My emotional scars run deep,
But it’s nothing that your love and
warm embrace cannot heal.
*
You have taught me what it means to be loved.
I have seen you do the same for other animals like me.
I have heard you ask yourself in times of despair
Why you do it-
*
When there is no more money, no more room, no more homes
You open your heart a little bigger,
stretch the money a little tighter
Make just a little more room…to save one more like me.
*
I tell you with the gratitude and love that shines in my eyes
In the best way I know how
Reminding you why you go on trying.
I am the reason
*
The animals before me are the reason
As are the ones who come after.
Our lives would’ve been wasted, our love never given
We would die if not for you.
