Today Grace has asked me to write this blog because I was one of Henry's team of MOUSE CATCHERS LTD. My name is Alice and I am a tortoiseshell girl cat. When I arrived on the farm I was a very sad girl because I had been not looked after well and I was being looked after then by the cats protection league. They were lovely but then they told me they had a found a new home for me on a farm. That was when I met Henry who made me feel at home and caught mice for me. He was very funny and, whatever we were hunting we had to be back to wait by the cattle grid for mummee's car when she came home from work. Then he had to run like the wind up the field and get to the pull in outside the house before mummee. Sometimes she had a treat for us. then other times Henry would dive into the car and sit behind the wheel. We all loved Henrybut he had become ill and he died before suffering. This is a poem from all of us for Henry. Goodbye dear friend. Alice and Seth ( apprentice mouser class 3) and Malachi ( apprentice mouse catcher class 2) and Yindee ( Henry's siamese friend) and all the reds.
This is a poem for Henry.Miss Me But Let Me Go
Miss Me But Let Me Go -
When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set on me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little--but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared,
miss me--but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take,
and each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
miss me--but let me go.
GOOD NIGHT AND SWEET DREAMS HENRY. MUM, DAD AND ALL OF US . GOOD HUNTING! XX
