Blue Fur

The beautiful sight, the sun immaculate We walked into the pet store Not knowing what was to come One look at her, and she filled my heart Her eyes glimmered like the ocean blue As she pranced around her cage Hoping that today someone would take her home Her fur was like a winters blanket so soft Its grayish blue color memorized me The warmth in her body made my heart beat She “purred” for me as she nestled in my arms I felt like I knew her, but this was the first time Her nose as precious as the streak of white That ran down her back, her meow so subtle Patience so sweet, nothing was wrong on the outside But on the inside she was sick Her presence like a baby Fought daily to live, and harder to love How could I have ever known she carried a disease I wanted her with me, but was too afraid For a cat as special as her, I never wanted to lose Her presence touched my heart, And signed her seal in my soul
