THE BEST OF US - A TRIBUTE

[Brenda K. Smith]

Hi All......     I wrote this tribute to all feline leukemia kitties in December, 2000.  It is still as true today as it was then.  For all who don't know eating cheesecake means a cure has been found for Feline Leukemia.  One of the long term listers wrote an email several years ago and said "when they find a cure for this disease, we will all eat cheesecake."     My family sends all of your families the very best for happiness and health for humans and furbabies alike this holiday season. The Best of Us      a tribute....by Brenda K. Smith He holds their sick bodies   The creator of man In his gentle, loving hands    As only He can. We question their existence    How can they survive Why were they created    Should they be alive? What is their purpose    Their short life on earth Are they angels to guide us    To grant us our worth? Do they teach us great lessons    Have our lives been enriched Are these little creatures    Our wise teachers in this? They leave us far richer    Than when they began Our lives touched so deeply    These small companions of man. We seek the great wisdom    From the Holy Spirit above Why has He brought us    These little angels to love. We may never know    The answers we seek Why these tiny bodies    Endure such pain until weak. Upon this birthday of Christ    We are blessed from above By these angels of light    Who have taught us such love. Their presence forever    Will abide in our hearts The souls of these beings    From us will not part. Some day there'll be joy    Part of His master plan No more sickness to endure    A well and full life span. Soon our tears will be dried    Our sorrow will abate The cure WILL be found    And we will eat cheesecake! -- Brenda..... http://www.whiskersandwicks.com http://www.cheqnet.net/~bksmith "The only risk you ever run in befriending a cat is enriching yourself." - Colette Don't Take Your Organs To Heaven.
