A poem for anyone who has had a loss....FOUR FEET IN HEAVEN

Your favourite chair is vacant now,
No eager purrs to greet me,
No softly padded paws to run
ecstatically to meet me.

No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry,
Will say it's time for feeding,
I've put away your bowl and
all the things you won't be needing.

But I will miss you, little friend,
For I could never measure,
The happiness you brought to me
the comfort and the pleasure.

And since God put you here to share,
In earthly joys and sorrow,
I'm sure there'll be a place for you
in heaven's bright tomorrow.
