For Razmatazz

My friend had to let her precious cat go, Raz had come of questionable age; no one could ever figure it out, but no matter she was still loved from day one. And given the name of Razmatazz, fed the best of food and given toys; (but rejected playtime) given a cozy warm place to sleep, and when sick- a search for medicine began . . . But, one day, Razmatazz was just not right, she was not acting normal and was obviously real sick; so, off to the vet and the decision was made, to end the suffering of this beloved cat. Raz placed her head on that always loving hand, with courage, my friend gave her Razmatazz; the ultimate gift of love, she gave Razmatazz wings to fly. The cost of loving is grieving ! _________________________ March 25, 2019 Poetry/Free Verse/For Andrea - Razmatazz Copyright Protected, ID 03-1127-532-25 All rights Reserved, 2019, Constance La France

It's so hard to let them go; this was a beautiful dedication with wonderful loving imagery. I know Andrea misses Razmatazz.

Andrea, I am happy you like the poem, (I corrected the toy thing) hope you are doing okay. I had a cat of questionable age once that I called Grumpy because he used to hiss at me in the beginning, no one knew how old he was, but I had him 12 years. When I had to put him to sleep because of kidney failure, I has broken and shattered for a long time ~

Beautifully done, and I am sure that Andrea appreciates it, Constance. A sweet tribute to them both.
