Subject: THE BEST OF US - A TRIBUTE

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!

--
