Seeking a poem...

Years ago, my grandmother used to buy "Good Housekeeping" magazine and "Woman's World" and I would always scan them looking for recipes and always noticed in the back of the magazines, there were Ads to sell books, merchandise, picture frames, etc. and I saw a framed poem for a "cat's prayer" which I think contained the words "...no more pitter patter of your paws"....and "...you're in heaven now..." (or something similar)

Can someone help me find this poem? It was one of the best I've ever read and would love to have it!

So, if anyone has some of those old magazines, scroll to the back pages and look for me?...please? :)

Thank you!

I just did a search and it took me to this website that has many cat poems. Here's the link: http://www.catquotes.com/catpoetry.htm.

Thanks!....I saw this website performing a search as well - didn't have the poem I wanted, but they have a great list and I thank you again for posting/sharing with me :)

Yes, I saw that list and poked through it, too! Most poems including "pitter patter" I have found are about growing children!

This poem I am looking for is over 20 years ago in the Woman's Day or Good Housekeeping magazine...it was in the back pages and it was a framed poem with a picture of a black cat playing with a ball of yarn (from what I remember) in the upper left corner...

Hmm, do you know anyone at your local library? They may have all the old issues in their "periodicals" section, and you could pick a year and peruse some!

Here are the Contact Us links to both magazines. If they have digitized their archives they just might be able to track it down. :)

Empty
That's all I feel
My loyal friend
No more pitter-patter
Of your paws on the floor
No more gentle nudge against
My leg to let me know you're
Right there
No more head scratches
Your favorite!
No more nipping at my shins
To let me know you're hungry
No more tapping my face
To wake me in the morning
When you think I've slept long enough
No more guarding me from
All the bad things you perceived
You were always so protective.
Just a huge vacancy
And the tears
Welling in my eyes
And warming my cheeks
Rest in peace
Sweet Xada
You will always be alive
In my heart
Until we meet again
