Four
Feet in Heaven
Your
favorite 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 me,
The
comfort and the pleasure.
And
since God put you here to share
In
earthly joy and sorrow;
I'm
sure there'll be a place for
you
In
Heaven's bright tomorrow...
