Along the road, under a bush, 4 baby kitties unaware,
You were left outside, Momma tried for you to hide,
But this world is so cruel and unfair.
You came to me so tiny and pure,
With a creamy colored coat,
I looked into your eyes; I saw your soul,
My heart became afloat.
From that moment, the Ninth of June,
You never left my side,
I'd call your name, put on your coat,
And say "we're going for a ride."
You loved my truck; you'd lie on my neck,
And watch the world go by,
Or you'd jump in the back with food and toys,
You found the litter box and I'd hear you sigh!
Then we found out you were sick,
Leukemia has no cure,
I vowed right then, I'd give to you,
The best life could ensure.
You were ok, you loved to run,
And chase your sister around,
I'd dress you up in kitty clothes,
You were the talk of the whole darn town!
You held me together, my Baby Girl,
When my life it seemed so dark,
If not for you right by my side,
To hell I would embark.
The days went by and life went on,
But Christmas was a treat,
You didn't climb the tree like I thought you would,
But sat under it so sweet.
Then you got sick, to the vet we went,
I still have the x-ray,
I was so scared of what they would tell me
For your life I began to pray.
I ask for God to heal you,
Because I needed you with me,
But He had other plans for you,
Of which I just couldn't see.
One illness after another,
Until you've had enough,
I had to make "that" decision,
A decision that would be tough.
I sent you to God on the twenty third of March,
That day seems just like today,
It was the hardest thing I've ever done,
Sending my best friend to Gods Pearl Arch.
It's been a year since you've been gone,
And I miss you just the same,
There isn't a day that goes by,
That I don't think of you from dusk till dawn.
You were there for me, my Baby Girl, Whenever I would cry,
I know you're up there watching me,
And sometimes I feel you nearby.
I will never forget those short ten months,
That you were part of me,
All the joy we shared and troubled times
And the life you made me see.
You go have fun now, you're sister awaits,
Tell her I miss her too,
I'll see you soon, my Baby Girl,
When we can start our lives anew.
