"Without You" MCS Midis Used With Permission
That little cat who scampered through the house, Or curled asleep upon the window ledge, Though still alert to stir of leaf or mouse. But now he's gone, whose soft paw often touched My cheek at the first glint of day; Or with arched back, skipped through the room, Enticing me to enter in his play. Oh God of little cats-my earnest plea Is that while things are strange to him You may Scratch his ears sometimes, let him chase Celestial mice along the Milky Way, Just for a little while until he finds Some chosen spot upon the Outer Gate. When he is weary of his running, where he may Curl in the sunshine, there to sleep-and wait. Author Unknown
a kitten, God said. For you to love while she lives, and mourn when she's dead. Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three But will you, 'till I call her back, take care of her for me? She'll bring her charms to gladden you and should her stay be brief, you'll always have her memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught below I want this kitten to learn. I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true, And from the folk that crowds life's land I have chosen you. Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain? Nor hate me when I come to take my kitten home again? And my heart replied, "My Lord, Thy Will Be Done." For all the joys this kitten brings, the risk of grief I'll run. I'll shelter her with tenderness, I'll love her while I may And for the happiness that I've known, forever grateful stay. But should you call her back much sooner than I planned, I'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand. If by my love I've managed your wishes to achieve, in memory of her sweet sweet love, please help me while I grieve. When my cherished kitten departs this world of strife, Please send yet another needing soul for me to love all her life. Author Unknown
Then my face he would swab with his tongue Though most of his loyal exploits and faith And his acts of pure love went unsung. What better example of love can be found Than the love of a true faithful pet A dog whose consistent attention to you Leaves memories you never can forget A dog unrequited love will you give Your affection he never will spurn. Responsive he'll be to your every command And will nothing expect in return. He'll accept all affection that's directed his way But content if he just can be near. Yet always he hopes you will reach out your hand And scratch behind both of his ears. All of my dogs lived a rich and full life Till death finally tallied its toll, But ere they departed, I looked in their eyes And I swear that each dog had a soul. Author Unknown
