Since my baby died this song by Sherrie Austin always makes me cry. I change the words a little bit so it's about my baby cat. It goes like this:

It must be kind of crowded on the streets of Heaven
so tell me what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl
forever, but right now I need her so much more.

She's much too young to be on her own,
hasn't yet turned 7,
so who will keep her safe
when she crosses the streets of Heaven?

Lord don't you know she's my angel,
you've got plenty of your own
and I know you hold a place for her
but she already had a home.

Well, I don't know if you're listening
but praying's all that's left to do
so I beg you Lord have mercy,
you lost a son once too.

And it must be kind of crowded on the streets of Heaven
so tell me what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl
forever, but right now I need her so much more.

Lord I know once you've made up your mind
there's no use in begging
so since you took her today
will you make sure she looks both ways
and will you keep her safe
when she crosses the streets of heaven?

That is very nice... about sums it up too!

Magdalene,

Oh yes....

Thank you for sharing that with us.It's a beautiful song...I know in my heart that it's true.Our pets are in heaven and they will be looked after until we are with them again. Sincerely,Renee (Sox's mom)

Dear Magdelene,
A lovely song.
When Furry died I listened to Eva Cassidy's album Songbird - some beautiful songs & made even more poignant by her own early death. I have just been listening to Bruce Springsteen's The Rising - such sadness in "You're missing". Music is a comfort. When we buried Furry we played Mozart's Requiem & the music was uplifting & a fitting tribute to her.
Take care, Judith
