THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS - on the Bridge ( Part 3 2009)
Another year has passed
And the cats all gather on the Bridge
This year we have so many new friends
But it would not be right to give their names
We do not show preference
Cos we all live in peace
On the day before Christmas
Each cat has a task
Cleaning, cooking and so much more
The trees have been decorated
And are sparkling in the setting sun
Presents have been placed
For their special friends
On the day before Christmas
Since last year the cats have a gallery
Of pictures they have drawn
This is their permanent reminder
Of those who gave them love and care
Some cats had nobody
But are now loved by all
On the day before Christmas
The cats would love to invite their slaves
To visit for a time
But they know this cannot happen
So they send signs throughout the year
A rainbow or something very purrsonal
Cos they want to stay in touch
On the day before Christmas
Arrangements are nearly finished
And the clock is ticking down
To the time just before midnight
The cats all purr in expectation
And its a fair roar across the Bridge
The path is opening
On the day before Christmas
Paws and hands touch
And kisses are exchanged
So much excitment and tears of joy
Its only once a year this can happen
And only minutes to say hello
But all the cats love this moment
On the day before Christmas
THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS - on the Bridge (Part One 2007)
All the cats are gathering
On the puuuuuuurfect day
Food piled high in boxes
Ready to go under trees
Excited meows and purrs
Can be heard from all around
On the day before Christmas
The walls are lined with drawings
Of slaves they once had
Never to be forgotten
Memories of love and care
Stories are being told
Of adventures and fun
On the day before Christmas
Cats in the kitchen
Making tomorrows feast
Bowls are all sparkling
Ready to drink a toast
To all those who loved them
And feline friends on the Bridge
On the day before Christmas
As the sun goes down
Its a clear sky with only stars and moon
The cats all line the Bridge
And raise their paws together
To celebrate a birth tonight
Of the newest kitten there on earth
On the day before Christmas.
THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS - on the Bridge (Part Two 2008)
Last year we celebrated together
Oh how quick another year has gone
Cats are busy, decorating and cooking
Making clean the Rainbow Bridge
Soon it will be celebration time
On the day before Christmas
Plates and dishes sparkling
With food of many kinds
Some just right for the kitties
Some just so for their slaves
A party soon to be held
On the day before Christmas
As afternoon turns to dusk
And the first star shows in the sky
Excitement is building
All over the Rainbow Bridge
Waiting to meet their friends again
On the day before Christmas
Time approaches midnight
Get in line comes the call
Make sure your fur is clean and shining
Tails either up or round your paws
The path will not open long
On the day before Christmas
Its time its time purrs someone
And the Bridge opens its doors
The moon lights the pathway
All the cats are ready and waiting
To exchange strokes and purrs
On the day before Christmas
Raise a dish or a glass
To our friends on earth
Say the Bridge cats
We have such a short time to meet
On the Rainbow pathway
On the day before Christmas
