Anyway, Princess being an all black kitty, I was reminded of the numerous little black kitties we have had running our house in years past. One in particular had a little white spot on his chest. Terry Lee was his name.
Thinking of Terry Lee led me to remember having this poem. It was sent in an E Mail by a very close and dear Texas friend of ours, who my wife, Lisa, and I spend hours chatting with on our Forums on WorldCrossing.com.
I thought we might offer this for reading this evening.

Dear Roy,
I was thinking about a little kitty I found . We had her till she was 9 months old . Seems she was destined to die early. I found her at six weeks old. Just a bag of fur. When she was 2 months she had her tail caught under a rock pile. When she was 4 months hold my dad ran over her. Then sadly one day she was let out before daylight and was run over killing her instantly. This is why I wrote this poem.
Her name was Midnight, and except for the 1 inch of white on her stomach, she was solid black.
Your Friend,

Every year its always the same.
Who for now do I blame?
These days are full of joy.
I don't need any new toy.
It's just a day full of cheer
and I rather have a beer.
Let the little ones have their fun.
I'll have none.
I think I'll go for a run
till its done.
What is this I see?
A little filthy below me.
A tiny little body with barely a sound.
Now what is it I have found?
No noise it makes just a strange purr.
Its tiny little head covered with stinky fur.
It looks up at me with eyes full of sky blue,
Rubbing me like a friend who would always be true.
"My time here is short" it purrs,
"will you be my friend till my end?"
I misunderstand what it has said
and rush home with it instead.
I clean him up and try to feed him.
But alas he is too weak even to swallow a drop of water.
The tears in my eyes flow like running water.
My heart of ice starts to melt as I gaze at his pelt.
Holding him close to my heart,
He reaches his paws up grabbing a tear.
As though wiping it away, and had meow to say.
"I love you for what you have done.
But angels only come when one's heart has turned to stone.
And I see you no longer need me."
I cried for hours.
And I remembered not ever to others become so sour.
I do not want another angel
to visit me.
