This poem was sent to me by a friend when she learned of Lael's passing. I thought it only fitting to include it here on her page. Long years ago, when dreams were first taking shape, I came to you... such potential in velvet fur. A glimmer of that dream walked in me, and called to you. I was there for you, when times were hard and uncertain. I grew strong, and glory walked in my shadow, all knew My name would live forever in the list of my children. The glimmer of that dream began to take shape. I was a part of it, a part of you, a song in your heart. Years passed, but I lived on and shared with you, The dream as it matured. Strong sons and daughters I gave to you, their names outshone mine, And all knew the dream had come to fruition. Quiet times we had together, when the hubbub Of the shows was finished, when the last of my Children went on, to spread the dream across the world, But we had each other and somehow, it was enough. The sands of time ran more quickly then, I grew old And in our aging together, we shared a different glory, That of memories and good times. You could see the Dream in different images, wherever you looked. But we two old ones, we knew that my seed had made my lineage strong.We still shared something special. Something no one else could ever have. The building Of a dream that no one else could fully share. Now the sands run quicker from the glass. I grow tired and my sight grows dim. The once Strong limbs can't carry my mighty heart. I am tired. I would stay with you forever, you know I would. But the time comes to pass the torch. I must rest. Tho' the dream may seem to die with me, it lives on. In every kitten of my line,it lives on in you and me. So long as you remember me, the dream will never die. I don't want to leave you now, but I must. We've shared too much over the long years For me to go easily. Won't you guide me on this path That I must take. For I am tired, and I must rest. Let your special scent be the last I smell, your touch the last I feel. Let The sweet sound of your voice guide Me on this last journey. For I will wait for you, young and Strong, where the rainbow meets the earth. For you were good to me. You were the world to me. Together we built something that will never fade away. I will wait for you, healthy and whole, where the Rainbow meets the earth, My Friend. Author unknown  |
