Cleo

You are so precious to me sweet girl
You know you stole my heart.
The tender purr that I first heard
Made you mine right from the start.

Even though you weren’t brand new
And your age a mystery
You loved me Cleo as I’ve love you
Apart we’d never be.

I went away for days on end,
You’d greet me back with love,
Acting as though I never left,
You’re my angel from above.

You’ve been with me through tough times
And also for the good,
You’d rub your face across my leg
In silence, but understood.

Sleep soon sweet girl, and feel no pain
I’ll only let go, for now,
To let you leave without me Cleo,
I am not sure just how.

How I can relate to your words - Our cat used to do exactly the same - disappear for days then bound back through the door - beautiful imagery of a treasured pet:-) Hugs jan xx
