on This Earth

In Memory of My Beloved Cat(s)

Chewie (and Anakin) would have been 8 had he (they) lived.  This was a poem I wrote when Chewie died.  It applies to Anakin too.

My gift from God,
Love that you are
My little shadow,
Loyal that you are
My heart’s delight,
Joy that you are

The heart aches,
You’re gone too soon
Or so it seems
In truth, our time together 
Has been ordained
Just the same

In the garden, 
and under the tree, 
Your body lies 
Yet your spirit roam free
Back to the Creator
No longer bound to me
