In loving memory of my beautiful girl. Born on the 27th August 2007, went to heaven on 10th April 2008. I will treasure the six months that we had together for the rest of my life.

Lend Me a Kitten
I will lend to you for awhile 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 his charms to gladden you and, should her stay be brief
You'll always have her memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promises he 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?

I fancied that I heard them say 'Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done'
For all the joys this kitten brings the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may.
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.

But should you call her back much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love we've managed your wishes to achieve,
Then in memory of her whom we loved, please help us while we grieve.
When our cherished kitten departs this world of strife,
Please send yet another needing soul for us to love all his life.

A beautiful poem for a beautiful baby. The poem says so much and so does the gorgeous picture of Purdy. You have just posted a picture of a real angel.

Thanks for sharing your baby and her Tribute.
