IN MEMORY

IN MEMORY
by Melody Collier

Little cat,
in a distant sky Where mice are friends and bluebirds fly,
Where pain is forgotten and you can pass
With leaping grace over green,
green grass;
Little cat,
will you catch a star
And wonder,
a moment,
where you are?

Little cat,
in a distant land
Where nothing can harm you as you stand
And gaze at the clouds,
so pure,
so white;
And all is glad with a fresh delight,
Little cat,
in your newborn years,
Will you spare a thought for my falling tears?
