Holly Jane Rymer-Hird

1992 - 2010

Holly Jane, well where shall I start
I loved you so much, with all of my heart
I had known you since I was born,
and without you, its like my heart is torn
Now that you've gone its just not the same,
and I'd do anything to have you back again.
I loved your cute button nose, and your paws instead of toes.
I loved your cute furry ears, and how you'd comfort me when I'm in tears.
I loved how you'd wake me up with a big sloppy kiss,
and when you saw other cats you'd give them a hiss,
I loved how you'd stretch your arms when you woke up,
and how when I had a glass of milk you'd look in the cup.
I remember the last night we had, and how you slept with me,
and I felt your chest, and thought this just can't be
But when I saw you lay, so sick and just not you
I knew you were hanging on, and there wasn't anything we could do
That car ride to the vet, I held you tight,
and I couldn't believe what was happening, it just didn't seem right.
As you laid on my knee and gave that little sigh,
and Dad took you out my arms, I said my last goodbye.
Then when Dad came back without my baby Jane,
it just didn't seem real, it just wasn't the same.
And I know that where you are is a better place,
but I just wish I could see your cute little face.
Holly you were the bestest cat, and I'll never forget you,
and all of our memories, and everything we've been through.
