| Chasing Down The Sky You were a member of my family and my very closest friend You loved me like few people can, exactly as I am You'd listen to me and comfort me when I was feeling down You'd play with me and sleep with me and follow me around No matter how my day went or how long you were left alone You always waited faithfully to welcome me back home If tears could bring you back to me, you'd be right here today But you are where you need to be and that is where you'll stay Because even though you are gone, it's really not goodbye You simply ran ahead of me like chasing down the sky And when my own time comes and my own journey ends I know that you will be there to welcome me home again Poem by Cher Smith Click here to see past friends The poem really relates to dogs or cats, but also works for my rat friends too. |
