I wrote this poem for my baby boy, Sme. He passed away about a year ago. I wanted to write something in remembrance to him emmediately after he died, but until now, I've been far too upset to put my grief & guilt into words. He was my very first male cat & I will never forget how loving, gentle, sensitive, unique & perfectly beautiful he was. I'm quite suprised that I even succeeded in finishing this poem considering I was balling my eyes out the entire time I wrote it...but I knew that only once I expressed my feelings for him could I then begin to heal. So here we are...a year later & I'm still broken to pieces. I only hope that my poem can help those who are hurting from losing their best friends. I hope you enjoy, let me know what you think of it when your done...Thank you for reading[emoji]128575[/emoji]


**MY BABY BOY**
by Kelly Lorenzato

The day began as normal until a knock came to my door~Then the news that you were gone made my heart go sore

I ran down the stairs & there you laid so still~A chunk was ripped from my heart where your love did fill

I knelt over your body & pressed my face into your fur~I pet your head so softly but I couldn't hear you pur

Nothing could stop my crying as I screamed your precious name~Nothing will stop the guilt for I'm the one to blame

I wasn't there to ease your pain when you closed your eyes~I wasn't there in the end when time came for goodbye

Now I stand here grieving, my tears drop on your grave~Nothing will replace the unconditional love that you gave

You came into my dreams & told me you were ok~You told me not to worry cuz Rainbow Bridge is where you now lay

I tell you that I'm sorry for not knowing that you were ill~You then say "its fine, mommy" & that you love me still

I beg you to come with me & that I'll never let you go~But you tell me we're in a dream & that the answer must be no

You just wanted to say goodbye & express to me your love~And that you'll always be watching me from a cloud above

Then you begin to fade but I just can't let go~There's one more thing that I need to let you know

"Sme, I'll miss you so much & u'll never be replaced!"~I see your smile once more & then you vanish w/ no trace

Now that ive said goodbye the healing can start~Never will I forget you & you'll ALWAYS be in my heart.

(RIP SME)
I LOVE YOU

Thank you so much...it was extremely painful to write that. I'm trying not to reread it cuz it continually makes me cry uncontrollably. Even after a year, it's still so painful. But despite the agony, I had to pay some sort of tribute when I found out about the Crossing the Bridge forum. I just hope that he looks down on me today & knows how much I love & miss him[emoji]128148[/emoji]

Your poem really got to me. How hard it must have been to relive that in writing that. I hope and pray that healing has begun in your heart for your precious boy. Our baby passed at a vets unexpectedly this past january. We never had that opportunity to say goodbye to her. We shared 17 years of life. It was so difficult to accept and we still struggle with that. But we cannot change and we must let it go. Its still hard ssometimes for us to do that. We have a lot of happy memories with her that we cherish. Thank you for writing that difficult poem. You have helped me with my healing also.

Your poem was beautiful. It does express a lot of what we feel, the guilt and anguish. I would give anything to live that horrible day over, I would change one small thing and my baby would still be alive. RIP beautiful Sme, your family misses and loves you.
