\&quot;When the World Is Full of Pain, and All That\&#039;s Left Is Love And Hate, Give Me Love.\&quot;<br /> <br /> ~Sons of Sylvia~


I remember, just last week,
When you came home, small and meek.
Your leg was swollen and blood we saw.
But I went to school, obeying the law.

I came home and no one was there.
I went to get my brothers from the yellow, metal, giant.
And we went home.

We waited for minutes,
Not knowing what to think.
And then my parents came.
You weren't with them.
My mom was crying.

We learned that you were summoned
To His castle in the sky.
All I did was cry,cry,cry.

We could've saved you,
If money was no problem.
But that wasn't the case.
And know you are under His wing,
In his castle in the sky,
And all I can do is cry,cry,cry.

This is a true story about my cat, Oliver, who died about a year ago. We adopted him when he wandered into our yard with no tags or collar.
