ODE TO SCRAPPY

by Sandra Fratt

Scrappy at his frog pond

BE AWARE, MY GOD, Scrappy has arrived
at the Rainbow Bridge!

BLACK as night, he moves with grace and stealth,
mighty hunter at the frog pond.

YOUNG and vigorous, frisky and spunky,
no stone will be left unturned
as now he explores his new land.

MISCHIEVOUS and curious in a masterly fashion,
he will continue his adventures,
and, in so doing, bring adventure to each of you!

CURLED securely, once again, in Rascal's white ruff,
he rests from days filled with joy and sunshine
and watches for his loyal companions he left behind.

FRIENDLY to all, and with fascinating stories to tell,
he will captivate his many new companions.

BUT, DO NOT loose your heart to him!
For one day, when his beloved Pat arrives,
he will fling his lithe body into her arms
and be her little black shadow for all eternity.


  "Ode to Scrappy" was written for the Crowleys on 4/26/97.

A PRAYER FOR RASCAL

by Sandra Fratt

Rascal

OH GOD OF ALL CREATURES, a friend of mine is lost
and a part of my heart is lost with him.

GOD OF MERCY, shine Your light on those who are in pain
because of the absence of his companionship.

GOD OF THE SAILORS, who guided men through treacherous seas,
guide this lovely orange cat safely back to his home.
We know that all things are possible
through Your intervention.

GOD OF LOVE, protect him from harm
for he is a kind and gentle creature.
As Rascal extended his paw to Scrappy, extend Your hand to him
and reassure him that he need not be afraid.

OUR GOD, if he is not to return to us,
we beseech You, help us to have courage in our loss
and some measure of peace in our hearts
knowing he has returned to the splendor of his Creator.

GOD OF ALL CREATURES,
make a cradle for him in Your loving arms.
Grant him butterflies to chase
and sunbeams to warm his coat.


  "A Prayer for Rascal" was written for the Crowleys on 4/9/97.

A PRAYER FOR TIGER

RECEIVE OUR GOD, the return of your wondrous creation, Tiger.
He has been brave in the face of adversity.

GRANT me a measure of consolation and peace in knowing
that I have fulfilled my responsibility to him.

IN MY GRIEF, help me to remember and appreciate
that his loving devotion was Your gift to me,
and to be thankful for the time I shared his life.

LET YOUR LIGHT warm his soft coat,
Your love fill his brave heart.

ALLOW him to frisk freely and without pain
in Your glorious realm until we meet again.


  "A Prayer for Tiger" was written for Nancy Richard on 4/21/97.
