Hi,
I made this because a friend gave me the poem. I've left out 3 verses so that it would fit my page and be easy to read. The locket I made with various objects from my collection. The cat is a photo from my collection but I was deeply moved by the poem and want to share it with my forum friends who are pet lovers.
Hope you like it.
Kev.

Kev, that is beautiful. So sad, I wish I had that poem when my Ruby passed away.
Thanks for sharing

Harvey,
thanks for that, pleased you like it.
The poem could be used for either cat or dog. In Victorian England, widows used to keep a lock of their dear departed's hair in lockets, brooches and rings, now it's pets.

Well, Kev, I wasn't going to log in right now until I saw your post. The poem is very touching and I think I have seen it before on web sites for greiving pet owners. You did a very nice job on the page. Now to swallow this lump in my throat. Happy Easter!
