"Love is eternal, it never dies, it is forever. . . " Quote by _ Constance And in my dream I am walking in a frozen land there is white snow in every direction pure and unflawed the temperature is way below freezing the wind is howling my feet crunch but, I feel nothing for I am frozen and empty inside I have been since the day my kitty went over Rainbow Bridge then, I notice tiny paw prints in the snow and follow them for some time only to find my beloved kitty in the snow I start running to her but she is dead a perfect curled up cat carved statue then, a hand comes down from the sky and picks her lifeless body up and she lay in God's hand still until suddenly she is moving her fur blowing her bushy tail swishing her sweet meows echoing oh, my tears are falling and freezing on my cheeks God lifts her up to his heart and kisses her head he smiles at me with great love and it is like the sun has come out and I know that my kitty will be fine in Heaven protected for infinity and I am weeping when kitty turns to me and lifts her paw in farewell her eyes are beautiful, bright and glowing and I hear God's voice speaking to me your kitty will be loved in Heaven and will be waiting at Heavens golden gate dear one when your time on earth is finished do not weep . . . do not grief you gave your kitty the ultimate gift of love you set her free from suffering and just like that . . . they fade away and I am in my bed and it is morning . . . I smile to myself for it is time, yes time to turn the page . . . to end this chapter

Thank you for supporting my Flash Poetry Challenge (6), Constance. Your poem was randomly chosen to be featured in my 'Results' blog, which is now up and running. I love the wisdom you display in the last four lines. It’s incredible how these unique personalities can bring joy to our lives! They work their way into our hearts and become part of the family. After they're gone, our pleasant memories of them are balsam for the soul.

Oh, My Constance, your deep, heartfelt exploration of grief and hope is moving. Your well-inked images of the frozen landscape mirror the emotional numbness of loss, while divine intervention brings warmth and comfort. I agree that a bond between humans and pets transcends death, offering peace in the promise of reunion. So touching! Good luck in the contest. Autumn Blessings, My Dear friend, Daniel
