Come Dream with Me

Come dream with me for a while as you linger
In the sweet reverie of memories of you and me
The days so swiftly passing and time that stops for no one

Come dream with me of youthful follies
Running, jumping, chasing, climbing, a constant whirlwind of motion
Smiles of exasperation lost in love

Come dream with me all curled up on the couch
My head resting next to yours, the rumbling purr changing to whispers of breathing
As sleep overcomes us lying there

Come dream with me of landing on all fours right on your resting form
Forget the reading ~ I have arrived, wet kisses nose to nose
Much more important than any book

Come dream with me of the times when no one else seems to understand
A torment of tears and I appear to stay beside you, your grateful hand caressing me
I dare not move until calm is restored

Come dream with me of talks at mealtime
Your dinner always looks better, a loud "Meow!" signals you to share with me
If cat food is so good, why don’t you eat it, too?

Come dream with me as I knead with my paws
To get a comfortable place next to the one I love best ~ of course I should have the preferred space
Am I not the most important one around here?

Come dream with me in your sorrow
The years though passing quickly do not diminish who we are, you and me
I remain always in that special chamber of your heart

Come dream with me so I can let you know
I love you so and nothing can change that bond ~ it is there for time and eternity
In the quiet of the night you will still feel my presence

Come dream with me forever in a place
Where tears and pain have no welcome, where joyful and glorious adventures await us
Sweet reverie surrounding as we dream together

In tribute to Mercedes, Stinky and Simon –
three extraordinary cats who blessed me
with their antics, their uniqueness and their love

She Is Gone

You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and lose your mind,
be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

The reason I don't have any idea when or if she has yet passed is because in 1999 I was married to a U.S Army guy and we were living in Germany. He decided he wanted a divorce and I was forced to come back to the U.S. I had no idea where I was going so I asked him if he would Please bring Brutis and Missafit back to the U.S and send them to me. Well he brought Brutis back to his Momma's in Alabama, but he left Missafit behind in Germany. He says that when he had field duty a little old German Lady would care for her and became attached to Missafit and when he was coming back she asked to keep her. He says this lady cooks for Missafit everyday and loves her dearly and so I haven't seen my sweet girl since March 10, 1999 or my Brutis. I to this day am still devastated and am angry. If it hadn't been for the divorce my sweet babies would still be with me or at least would have went to the Rainbow Bridge with me holding them and loving them as they went. I hope that Missafit is safe, happy, healthy and knows how very much I love her and that I didn't desert her.

All my love "Footie" I love you so much and will never forget you.
