Soft dark brown and tan fur
Eyes as blue as a sapphire
Ears that could hear the smallest sounds
And paws that never tired

I love you so dearly, my dear friend
I wish everything was the same
Did you know I loved you baby
Before your ending came?

It was so hard to give you up
The hardest decision ever
And I will never forget the tears I cried
The last moments we were together

I didn’t want you to live
In a life of a hurt and pain
But the question, “Was I right?”
Is driving me insane.

You were like a friend to me
Or maybe closer still
You always felt my emotions
That no other animal could feel.

You never judged me
Or made me feel upset
You were the best kitty
Anyone could ever get

Why did you have to get sick?
Why so early? Why?
Why did I have to be the one
Who decided your time to die?

If it was the right decision
Why do tears still fall?
Why do I keep expecting to see you
Every time I call?

I remember when I would whistle that tune
You’d jump up on my bed
I’d pet you and tell you I loved you
As I kissed you on the head.

You used to always want to come in the bathroom
And watch me take a bath
It was your curiosity
That always made me laugh

When I read a book
You loved to read it with me
And when I’d paint a picture
You came over to see

So many memories
But no more can be made
But I promise you this my beautiful friend
The ones I have will never fade

When Mom brought you home that day
A kitten under the bridge so near
I knew you’d be my best friend
And you were for five great years.

Today as we buried you
I felt a pain deep inside
I leaned against my soul mate’s chest
And tears for you I cried.

I’ll never forget you baby
I never really could
Forget the one who loved me
When no one else would

I know you are in a better place now
Where you can run and play
I’ll see you again my beautiful
I’ll see you again some day
