Casey and Devine

The little box sits empty
where your faces used to be.
Never a day did pass
when you'd peek out to look at me.

Your little faces are no longer here,
at least not on this plane.
You're somewhere better looking down
to ease me through my pain.

I'm sure you know I love you
and I will miss you everyday.
I'm grateful for the kisses you left
and I'll remember you when I pray.

- Julie Brown

This poem is dedicated to sister ratties who lit up my life everyday they shared with me. They allowed me to find the music within myself. Rats do make wonderful pets. I know you just shrieked but believe it, it's true!
