    Tiny eyes open to a strange new world

    Little paws reach out grasping for adventure

    Squeaky meows cry when things get too scary

    And in your heart, the little life leaves pawprints

    Getting bigger, the baby is learning to play

    Everything that moves becomes a target

    Demanding meows let you know the belly wants food

    And every day, more pawprints

    The lazy sunbeam becomes a quiet place to rest

    Still playful, but grown-up now

    Enjoying a gentle pat or a comfy lap

    Larger now, are the pawprints

    The days seemed to have passed all to quickly

    No longer interested in play

    Dreaming of the gentle winds and green meadows

    More precious now, the pawprints

    Feeling so tired, rest in a loved one’s arms

    Paws reaching for butterflies just moments away

    Released from the pain of this world to the Rainbow

    Leaving behind only the pawprints

    I should point out that I wrote this while thinking of Leeny’s Gabie – and all the others that have been released to the Bridge

    I saw this yesterday, Owl, but didn’t have the words to say how beautiful it is and how special it is to me. The image I had yesterday, and still have, is of pawprints filling up with tears as footprints fill up with water when a person walks near the ocean.

    Thank you.

    Thanks to all for the kind comments. Rocky, you may copy it out for a scrapbook, but please do not publish it anywhere else.

    Leeny, – I was thinking about the Rainbow Bridge post last night, but had forgotten that it was you that said you were the reason I needed to post it. Strange thing is, I have been trouble writing – especially with all the chaos around here with the people renting the room that used to be Anthony’s. But yesterday the words just flowed like they used to… I find it kind of interesting that my poetry came back yesterday so I could write that poem right after you helped Gabie to the Bridge. BTW, I love the imagery of the pawprints filling with tears.
