For my cat TessaApril 13, 1993 - January 1, 2009
Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud the whitest dove
Upon the wind of Heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waist a breath don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise the sun will set
But I won't forget
Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now and find the light

ReplyDeleteIm so sorry about Tessa. She was a beautiful cat. I know how you must be feeling right now as I have four of my own but I have also lost two others this year. Its a lovely post to dedicate to such a beautiful cat. I am sending you a big hug from the UK XXXXX
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that you have lost your friend and companion. I lost my cat last year she was 18. I know how much joy they bring and how much we learn from them.
ReplyDeleteKnow now that when the sun shines and the comfort of a warm day that the spirit of your cat is there with you.

ReplyDeleteThank you Vintage kitten.
ReplyDeleteI'm also sorry to hear about your two kitties.
I use to have 4 persians. Tessa was the first of them all and the last to leave too.
Wishing you a very nice day,
Lydia

ReplyDeleteThank you Dave. I'm also sorry to hear about your kitty. She was 18! wow!
ReplyDeleteShe lived a good life.
I sure will think of her and know she's there when I feel the sunshine on me.
She already showed me in a dream that she's happy right now, which made my day so nice when I woke up.
Have a great day,
Lydia

Hello Wild,

I'm sure Portugal must be beautiful! You have much better weather than I do up in New York!
It's cold, cloudy and snowy here today.
Enjoy your wonderful sunshine!
Have a nice day,

Ah, that's sad, Lydia. I know how you must feel, as I've lost cats before. My Blanche is 16 and Gilbert is 15+. We'll raise our paws in a prayer for the spirit of your Tessa.
