If I Should Disappear

If I Should Disappear

If I should one day leave and disappear,
promise to remember my love for you.
Watch white cotton clouds drifting heaven’s blue,
I'm the soft mist reaching to keep you near.
Leaves will brush you in the breeze to wipe tears
away, for we are joined forever two.
You're my brilliant star, while I'm the light who
first treads black paths, keeping our way clear.

And love, like your starlight, will find its way.
Ours sets me free to raise a mountain,
for your dream house, with vast tulip rainbows
bringing Cosmo home, with Newman to play.
By life’s bridge, we’ll wait to hug you again,
with pink roses, and silk angel pillows…


- Christopher Harris

Authors note: Cosmo and Newman are two of the best cats I ever had the pleasure of calling friends.
