Daver Austin Poet Elegy

In Memory

IN MEMORY

twiggy
was just a cat
a dear friend
of sixteen years
for humans i’ve not shed so many tears


Child of God

she
has been put to sleep
the feline way
so they say
nor was any soul more loved

Dave Austin

Andrea Dietrich March 26, 2015 at 11:35 PM very sad, and I really like how you expressed your pain at losing this beloved cat.

Jaycee Cervenka March 26, 2015 at 9:09 AM Both of these are sweet little pieces that illustrate how much we love and mourn the passing of beloved pets. I know our cats are part of the family, and I worry and fret if one stays outside for the night. ((Hugs)) ~Jan Daver Austin March 26, 2015 at 9:36 AM Thanks, Janet. We have so many cats, but it doesn't matter. Each one is special. I've done a lot of crying in the past. Love, daver
