Poem
Goodbye Miss Heidi Only For Now…….8.3.14 Remembering that day I first brought you home the sun was out a warm July day, meowing never stopped on your first ride to your new home, waiting Seeing you the first time a solitary cat of orange and gray you nuzzled the bars on the cage with your soft mews stole our hearts forever, beautiful green eyes shining. Loving you from that very first day we knew you were the one for us special feelings felt for torty abounded in our hearts, our loneliness relieved. At rest or at play Miss Heidi was our joy to behold with her climbing and jumping onto beds during laundry time was her favorite adventure , smiling Whether sitting on warm jeans or her attempts to make the bed while in it was fun to watch and precious memories never to be forgotten, imbedded within us. Basketball became her favorite pastime on TV either the squeaks of sneakers or just the speed the ball moved up and down the court her eyes fixed, a fan of the game was the furry girl. 15 years came and went in the blink of an eye it seems I remember many nights the two of watching sports on TV with her laying on my legs for hours at a time, never thought those days would ever end, life changes like it or not. Many times like now she would sit on my lap waiting for me to get done with this silly computer and for us to get to things that really matter: more food and laying on the couch watching TV! Arlene and Miss Heidi had a special bond too her furry daughter was never without love or food and water, love between them used to bring a tear to my eye, true love The many comfortable places my wife made for Heidi to lay on including the enormous cat tower that she dearly loved and tore up! Showing how happy laying in it made her feel, over and over. Whiskers blowin’ in the wind she came to love the fan upon her striking cheeks, a love we both shared with a smile Our loves were made richer and fuller by having her as part of our family showing us unconditional love and how to love others than yourself, thank you furry daughter. You taught me more than I ever taught you and helped make me a better man, loving caring man the powers of a tortoise shell who would have thought possible? The many times mom covered you and I up when we fell asleep waiting for her to come home were and still are precious memories never will I forget you Baba………. And times O found you sleeping in bed on your Cowboy blanky always brought a smile and tear of love to my face, we will never forget you our baby and first kitty/ Thanks for all the love you showed us over the years and all the happy times the three of us shared and your love for ham, my home made pork chops and tortilla chips. You were a blessing from God and your spirit reigns on in our hearts, minds and souls we will see you again little baba and be reunited and I ‘m sure you will be hungry too!!! Mommy and daddy miss you now and forever and are happy that you are not suffering or in pain ,you are with God now chasing squirrel’s and folding warm white towels waiting for us…… 2014 © David J. Mitchell
