Remembrance
author unknown
I hopped up on your bed last night, I came to have a peep,
I could see that you were crying, that you found it hard to sleep.
I purred and touched you softly as you brushed away a tear,
“It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.”
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
you were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care,
I want to re-assure you that I’m not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key,
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said “It’s me.”
You looked so very tired as you sank into your chair,
I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there.
It’s possible for me to be so near you every day,
to say to you with certainty, “I never went away.”
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew…
in the stillness of that evening I was very close to you.
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I’ll run across to greet you and we’ll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there’s so much for you to see,
please be happy, live your journey out… then come home to be with me.
