Diana, I shed a tear for you, our animals are our truest friends, they never question. I had a lovely cat called Tippy Too, she was so full of fun, I held her after a car accident and felt the life leave her as she left this world. But Tippy Too will always remain part of my heart. A really lovely memory of your loss.

A beautiful elegy to a much loved companion whose presence remains despite a grave and a fond farewell. This poem is honest and unambiguous. The chorus: 'and you and I we talked and cried from either side The Great Divide.' reinforces the closeness of your bond. For those who have not been touched by the love of an animal, your poetic reaction may seem 'over the top'. For those of us whose animal friends matter deeply, this poem brings tears. Requiescat in Pace. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This poem shows the special essence in you that so many people lack - the ability to connect in a spiritual sense with all God's creatures. Hearts always come home. It sometimes feels that you can't be reunited quick enough - but it will come.
