I have spent my life all sixteen years
Trying so hard to be a kitty that cares
Announcing to humans so they know
Animals are dating daily on death row
They are dumped, abused and left to die
Hopelessness in their eyes makes me cry
All it takes is just one quick phone call
Then they won't have to die at all
Now the rainbow bridge is calling me
Telling me come Tara it's time to be free
I have been loved nurtured and adored
Been fed, fussed over and never bored
Even when my eyes could no longer see
I always knew my mummy still loved me
A killing shelter never crossed her mind
She would never ever be so very unkind
I now face my slow last earthly breath
I can bravely face my oncoming death
Knowing each one of my true friends
Will make sure all animal abuse ends
Farewell from me for just a short while
Do not cry I would rather you keep a smile
Over the bridge I will be meowing too
Happy every time there is a new rescue
Petal Knee
Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.
