GOODBYE FOR A WHILE

Be not sad that I have gone
… softy into the great beyond
Thank you, dear mistress
… for having the kind of love
for caring enough to help my journey
to painlessness… above
From the distance… hear my purr…
I am so happy… the pain is gone…
… and with love
… I will wait for you…
for your heart was true.
… Be not sad at our Adieu…
for I am curled beneath God’s throne…
awaiting the day you will come along
