The local paper read, “Senior cat needs a home,”
Your owner passed away, and you were left alone
That day at the shelter, I felt myself melt
Words can’t express the emotions I felt
Precious, happy girl, you always gave a kiss
And when we would snuggle, you were really in bliss
You gave so much love, it made my heart ache
And when you got sick, that same heart would break
You fought a brave battle with all you could give,
Against all the odds, with a strong will to live
I tried to protect you, to shield you from harm
But fate had its way and you died in my arms
I hope your heaven’s full of treats, and lots of cozy beds
I hope someone is hugging you and scratching your sweet head
