Title: The Day Before Christmas (Part 8 2014)
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on December 23, 2014, 17:31:04 PM
The Day Before Christmas on the Bridge


Hulp hulp hulp I am trying to get the invitations out  :pcprob: :pcprob:
Why does it always play up when I am running late?
I mean this is as big as Santa delivering presents
And I have no knomes only stacks of silly kittens!
Take a deep breath said the senior cat and just relax
It will all be OK, you know it will
On the day before Christmas

OK here we go, come to the Bridge on 24 December
Cats want to meet their humans, make it a night to remember
Strokes, fluffy head butts, kisses and paw holding
It will be just purrrrrrrfect from Catsondabridge.rbb
Phewwwwww all gone now except for those that come back undelivered
What is a cat supposed to do with those, sigh
On the day before Christmas

There is a queue of cats who arrived on the Bridge recently
Who want to send a message to their meowmys
One of the blue eyed brothers is teaching them how to send a rainbow
Some take a while to aquire the skills
Others are just so quick
But all will try very hard to tell their meowmys they are safe
On the day before Christmas

The cooking cat has lined up all the kittens to test taste
They are so excited they are all over the place meeping
When some goodies are brought out meeping becomes a stampede
A ginger cat boldly steps infront of the mass of fur and claws
And gently guides the kittens into lines
The silence is deafening, just munch munch munch
On the day before Christmas

The senior cat looks on with a grin on his face   :catlove:
Just think I was like that once!
A big welcome to all the new cats and kittens
This is a special time of year for everyone
The one night when the Bridge opens its gates for a short time
And you will all meet your meowmys again
On the day before Christmas

Time is moving on, many rainbows sent but still so much to do
We will organize by colours this year says the senior cat
Black, black and white and white dress the trees
Gingers,torties and blues put food on the tables
Not sure I trust that group, always some norty torties
Who have I missed oh yes the sensible tabby brigade
On the day before Christmas

Tabbies to the front please, you will fill in all the gaps
We must hurry to get everything done before the sky goes dark
The senior cat stands on the hill and surveys the scene
So beautiful and so happy he feels, its just purrrrfect
All the cats and kittens are starting to form a line
Each with something special for their meowmys
On the day before Christmas

They all watch as the first star and the moon appear
On the other side of the Bridge they can see so many
Nervous purrs, mews and meeps can be heard
Nearly time and the light shines on the gates of the Bridge
The path becomes clear, there are millions of them whispers a kitten
And the gates open for the happiest meeting of the year
On the day before Christmas

I know you, old friend. Each year you come to punch, then twist, then soothe me.

Again, you have arrived.

I know you're here now, and I will bide my time to listen to you, to savour your promise, to feel the anticipation, the Love.

Your admirers feed from your promise, need your compassion, your words heal our wounds. We love you.

I know You will seduce me again, and reduce me to tears, as you do every year.

Tomorrow, Poem, we shall dance your dance again. I shall cry a little, then smile forever.

Gulp, another lovely and poignant poem Gill, I don't know how you do it every year.  :hug: :thanks: 


I wasn't alone when I saw you'd posted and knew it would make me cry so I left it for when I would be alone and almost forgot it.  :shocked:

I Suspect Ron's recent posts on this thread were intended for the thread where you answer questions each day to donate kibble to rescues (American). http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,29078.0.html  It's the thread above this one in the listing.
