Misty, My Sweet Kitten

Misty
my sweet kitten

She was the cutest kitten -
Misty was her name;
She was a fluffy grey Persian cross,
With mischief in her veins.

I loved and cherished her;
She was a blessed joy;
It was completely devastating,
On the back door step to find her.

Confused and heartbroken;
No more blue eyes to yearn for games;
It seemed completely crazy, 
And I cried for days and days.

With time the grief grew numb, 
As the scars healed in my heart;
But the memories linger on,
Of your short lived sweetheart life. 

I wish I could have saved you;
I wish love was enough;
I have to believe that you're in heaven, 
With all the other creatures loved.

Hello Michelle Morris, oh the kitten was too young. Give yourself time before you get another kitten. Thank you I will. Enjoy your day to my friend.

Hello, thank you for your message. She was a kitten (few months old) and was hit by a car. It was a terrible experience. Take care and enjoy your day further.
