Love Letter Forever Loved

I would give anything 
For one last kiss 
One more goodbye 
That would last for eternity 
I miss you every waking hour 
In my dreams I feel you, your soft fur 
In my dreams I hear you, purring 
I know you visit me while I sleep 
My angel, keeping me company 

In my life for 23 years 
Now gone for 10 
The pain still as raw 
I still cry at photos 
Of you so happy, alive and with me 
You ran into my open arms 
Welcomed me home every day 
The memories we shared, now locked away, safe. 

I watched you fade and could take no more 
I couldn't see you suffer 
The doctors tried to make you better 
Then the dreaded news 
They could not win, I had to let you go 
The red injection took you slowly away 
Your life slipped away in my arms 
The Angels took my place 
Gone forever, but never forgotten 
As the memories remain 

In my heart and in my soul 
They took a piece of me with you 
When they took you from this earth 
I thank you for the years of comfort 
I thank you for being my friend 
I thank you for making me smile 
For letting me cry into your fur 
And for licking my tears away with you rough tongue 
The entertainer of the family 
Mummys boy and confidante 
Always at my side 
I now pray to Saint Francis to keep you safe in heaven 
Until we meet again 
You are gone but you live on with all of us in our memories 

So remember my baby, my faithful furry friend 
Mummy will always love you 
Together until the end 
Here's a great big cuddle 
Until we meet again........................
