Poem I wrote when Patches Died

[font=Arial,Helvetica,Sans Serif][size=+2]Patches, 06/03/79-03/8/89
[size=+1]Patches, My Love[/size]
[size=+1]6/3/79 - 3/8/89[/size]
[size=+1]Angel Girl, it's been so long since you have gone away.
I wish that we could meet again, if only for one day.

I see you still, a tiny kit, a baby cat just borne.
You claimed my heart with your first breath
And to this day I mourn.

My kit of many colors,
My darling little friend;
You chose me above all others
So loyal to the end.

Your eyes of gold shone pure with love;
I knew that I was blessed.
A precious gift sent from up above;
So different from the rest.

At night you lay so close to me; so safe within my arms.
I wanted more than anything to keep you safe from harm.
We played and laughed and purred and loved until that rainy day.
Then all the love that we two shared could not help you to stay.

I think sometimes, in darkest night, that I still hear your purr.
I reach across, where you should be, in sleep to touch your fur.
I know that we will meet again; but now just run and play.
Be happy, dearest little love…I'll hold you some fine day.[/size]
[size=+1]My Patches, My Forever Love...I will hold you in my heart until the day comes when I can hold you in my arms again.[/size]

That is a very beautiful poem, straight from the heart.

Thank you for sharing it.

Thanks
I have tried to right poems for Stormy and Yoshi but I always ahve to stop.

That's beautiful, very touching. Patches touched your life, and in sharing this, you've helped her to touch the lives of everyone who reads it.

wow that's a nice poem

That's a wonderful poem....especially because it's straight from your heart and full of love. Thanks so much for sharing.

That is so sweet

Beautiful and touching. Something every pet owner can relate to. Thank you for sharing. It was beautiful.

That's really a very very nice poem. I felt so sad reading it, but at the same time you must have loved Patches an increible amount.

Thanks,
I did love her alot and she was my fav cat at the time.
I got offered so many kittens after she died and we found ferals.

I thought I could never love a cat again like I loved her but I was wrong.
I can not believe it has been 20 years already.
I thought I wold use this old post.

makes me think of Mr Jinx

Thanks,
Its been 20 years already.

I lost my two cats (mother and son) who were 20 and 18. I do volunteer work and donate money every year to a local No Kill shelter
.I saw a cat there who looked like Pookie, so I brought her home along with her 8week old kitten.I still have them both and they are now 7&9 years old.
I buried my precious kitties in a flower bed by my patio and had grave markers made for them. I still talk to them almost every day and I pray to God and St. Francis
To take care of them and to give them all the love they gave to me. I now have a total of 7 cats, 4 of whom were feral. It will help you if you help out at a shelter and in time you may decide to bring one or more home with you.

A beautiful tribute, straight from the heart. One thing I remember the most about my Chrissy was her beautiful, huge gold eyes. I called her 'owl eyes', and still miss her with all my heart. Bless you for loving so much, and for sharing your wonderful poem.
