Heavenly Nap

You lived your nine lives here with me

my loyal, loving friend,

Then God took you up to Paradise

to live life number ten.

I’ll bet you’re peacefully lying

upon an angel’s lap.

Purring there, without a care

having a heavenly nap.

I’ll miss you for a little while,

but our friendship will not end.

Time will pass, and then at last

you’ll be on my lap again.
