She wandered in with sunlit eyes, A stray with fur tortoise shells on the grass No collar, just a gentle purr, But love like hers could heal the hurt. She chose our porch, then chose our heart, Little Nola, from the start. Friendly paws on every knee, The sweetest soul that ever breathed. Oh Nola, Nola, watching from above, Sending down your whiskers made of love. From heaven’s fields where angels play, You’re still my girl, every single day. Friendly heart that never fades, Loving mom from golden rays. Her mom smiles through the tears, ’Cause Nola’s love is always near. You’d curl up close on rainy nights, Chase the shadows, steal the light. Headbutts full of quiet grace, A stray turned queen in our embrace. Every meow, a song of home, Every nudge said “you’re not alone.” Though your body rests in peaceful ground, Your spirit dances all around. Oh Nola, Nola, watching from above, Sending down your whiskers made of love. From heaven’s fields where angels play, You’re still my girl, every single day. Friendly heart that never fades, Loving mom from golden rays. Her mom smiles through the tears, ’Cause Nola’s love is always near. I feel you in the morning light, A soft warm breeze on lonely nights. You’re chasing clouds and rainbow strings, Guarding me on silver wings. No more pain, no more goodbyes, Just endless fields beneath blue skies. But down here, in this quiet room, I still smell your fur, I still feel you. Oh Nola, Nola, my angel stray, Watching over her mom every day. Friendly spirit, forever true, Heaven’s cat with eyes of blue. I’ll carry your love till we meet again, My little stray, my forever friend. Nola… Nola… Purring softly from above. Thank you for the greatest love.
