Unfair

A pet to me isn't an animal. He or she is family, one that we love. When they are taken away too soon, You know that they're in Heaven above. Not one, but two kitten died this week, Its unfair, we loved them, and my heart is broke. We have a funeral for Lois, and two days later, We bury Jasper, it's enough to make me choke. I choke on the words of my prayer, And I almost can't finish as I began to sob. They had cheated death once, and to have two die in two days, makes my heart and soul throb. I miss their furry faces and their playful ways. I cry and cry until my eyes are dry and raw. When they were born and actually lived, since I helped revived them I was in awe. Well when one door closes, another opens. A different Mommy abandoned her babies. Our cat was so sad and moping around, We thought to ourselves well maybe, just maybe. Three kittens without a mommy to love, A mommy that needed to fill her void. We introduced them to her, and to our surprise, She took to them IMMEDIATELY and was overjoyed. Not that Edward Jacob (E.J.), Malik, and Nova can take the place of the kittens taken from her. She now has new babies, she loved from the start. And today was the first time in days, I heard that motherly purr.
