Four Feet in Heaven

by Alice E. Chase

• Your favorite chair is vacant now...
• No eager purrs to greet me
• No softly padded paws to run
• ecstatically to meet me

• No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry
• Will say it time for feeding
• I've put away your bowl,
• And all the things you won't be needing

• But I will miss you little friend,
• For I could never measure
• the happiness you brought me,
• the comfort and the pleasure.

• And since God put you here to share
• In earthly joy and sorrow
• I'm sure there'll be a place for you
• in Heaven's bright tomorrow...
