We are so thankful to be starting the Alphabet ALL over again with “A” this week – thanks to all of you who wanted to continue this poetic fun and start over! You can Click Brian’s badge above to join the THANKFUL Blog Hop!
Hello poetry fans! Here we go again with the alphabet starting obviously with the letter “A”!
“Angels”
Now that I’m an Angel
I want you all to know
The Rainbow Bridge is beautiful
AND we never get any snow!
It’s sunny, bright and cheery
We’re happy as can be
There’s nothing but God’s beauty
Far as the eye can see.
We spend our days doing good things
We help out back at home
We try to remind our families
That they are not alone.
We know that we were truly blessed
To be part of your family
But our time did come and we were so tired
Our souls longed to be free.
We’ll always be there with you
We’ve loved you from the start
If you sit very quietly, you’ll hear us in your heart.
We’ll wait here until you join us
Arriving at the gate light as a feather
Then we will all be happy
Because we’ll be TOGETHER.
Did you write a poem today for “A”? If you did and want to share it, please leave your blog link in my comments so we can all go visit and read your poem OR just post your poem here in my comments and we’ll read it here! I’m so excited to be starting the whole alphabet again…………..and who knows – maybe we’ll do it AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN!
Also in the coming days Mom is going to try to share more of the things you sweeties sent in to her when I left for the Bridge………they are just too beautiful NOT to share……..don’t be sad…..be happy because we kitties love Christmas time and even though some of us are gone we will definitely enjoy watching you back here opening presents and making a big old mess with wrapping paper and stuff OK???
Je Suis Sammy le Poet!! Merci Beaucoup!!
Oh Mon Amis I forgot to tell you something fabulous. You know I’m a Cat Scout (now Angel Cat Scout) and I was HONORED to discover that there are now special items in the Cat Scouts Store with my fabulous face/artwork done by the Denmaster at Scouts!!!! That’s right – and you don’t have to be a Scout to order them or anything else in the store – so take a peek. I love the drawing of ME……………Thank you Denmaster for honoring me!

That poem … AMAZING. Wow. Tears are running down my face … thank you for sharing that piece of beauty. The holidays can be so hard in terms of missing the people and cats we’ve lost, but this is the perfect reminder that they are still with us.

Yes…..we all live in a very thinly defined space – one that allows us to move back and forth in time and place………your Angel kitties visit you too – just watch your cats and you’ll see that THEY see us. Those stares in empty corners – the dilated pupils and alert postures…….WE ARE THERE!
