Poem: Memorial -- Cat and God dialogue

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

A friend shared this with me and it brought me much bittersweet memories. I thought it might be helpful to those among us who mourn, too. {{{hugs}}}

:( :( :( Very sweet. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this with us. I know that my RB Pepper's spirit will always be with me.:)

This is so perfect for all those that we've lost lately. :(

What a great poem. :)

<sniff> Goldie definitely is a whiskered angel. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this. ***wiping tears from eyes***:( ;)

That is a Wonderful Poem, and True,as the Found Cats,are always with me, and I will never forget,what we went through, and all the Fun that we had together,and I only wish hat Pouncer,Scrappy, Fluffy , and Buster could enjoyed my Retirement Years!

Oh thank you Pauline - that was so sweet. Course it made me sniffle - but what's wrong with that eh?
D'you mind if I pass it on to my friend who recently lost her sweet 16 year old furboy Ed?

That was just beautiful. Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories for me.

My Tony is with me everyday...in his sister Tigger. She does some of the exact same things that only Tony did when he was with me....so I know that he passed these special things to Tigger so that he would always be with me.

:( Thanks for sharing such a beautiful poem.

Truly beautiful, made me weep. I miss my kitty so much, I think I will copy the poem and read it when I am missing my little skootch and I will be waiting patiently for little kitty whispers in my ear.:)

When I read your post about Skootch, I thought about this poem. I'm glad it's bringing you some comfort.

This is so cool. That must explain why I don't feel Grasshopper missing - she's still around in so many ways. Of course, here is where Dadcat would mention the fur - - - ;) .
Thank God for a sense of humor and a sense of eternity.

That was so neat...I know God has a special place for all his angel animals!
