For Bella.......

A basket of flowers for my Bella girl. Sweet kitty, best friend of many, many, years.

accompanied by a beautiful poem that my brother sent to me via e-mail. Bella loved 

when he would stop in for a visit and enjoyed his company very much.

 

 

SHADOW'S SONG

I'm not gone...not really.

I haven't gone away...I've only gotten bigger.

My eyes, so bright, now shine among the stars.

 

My voice sings with the wind in winter, as I leap

And dance among the tree tops.

I stalk the blown leaves in autumn, and brush the

flowers gently in the spring.

I come to you in dreaming, on feet grown dreamtime soft,

And lay my cheek against yours, and whisper:

"Peace be with you."

Someday we will play again together, you and I, among the stars.

'Til then, fear not to love, for your love gave my life meaning.

And I return that love to you...a hundredfold...a thousandfold...

Forever.
