A Beautiful Mystery

In late October, many years ago,
surprised we were, as we awoke at dawn;
looked out the window to behold some snow-
an inch or two had carpeted the lawn.
And too, that morn made us recall with tears,
one month before this day, our Charlie passed.
Our feline pet we'd loved for twenty years,
rekindled thoughts on memories amassed.
With breakfast done, we opened the front door
and saw one track of paw prints from his tomb
that stopped right there- mysterious! Therefore,
since none showed going back, we did assume
they walked his spirit to us through the snow-
that keeps his presence here from long ago.
