Shirley Hanley - GOODBYE

Here I stand
gazing at your lifeless body before me...

Tears running down...

Even though destiny chose me
to administer the fatal dose
that ended your life...

I know
it was the cancer
that killed you...

Goodbye Wezzer of the golden eyes
and tufted ears
my keeper of the food...

Soft and warm gift of God
I return you to your maker...

He who was kind enough
to share his love for me
through you...

I'll see you in Paradise
my beloved cat...

Oh how you blessed my soul...

Shirley Hanley
