I believe that cats are really angels
Come to bless us with their presence, for a while
Then they return to heaven
Such small creatures, so soft and warm
To give so much love and comfort
They become our friends, confidants, companions
They are our family, our children

And when their little lives are over
We miss them so very very much
The hole in our lives seems endless
The tears to never stop

It does not seem fair that this should be
That these small creatures who give so much for so little
Should stay in our lives for such a short time.
Take comfort in the knowledge that they await us beyond the bridge

And do not give up
There is always another one who needs a home
Lost, hungry needy
Keep the door to your heart open

Let there always be room for one more
Let the next little angel bless you with its presence
For a while, until it too must return to heaven
And be an angel once more
