My Sweet Lucky

I lost her on my birthday
While in my hospital bed
My sister put her to rest
My final goodbye left unsaid.

I still cry tears whenever
I view all the empty space
She purred daily at my side
Cuddled nightly in my place.

In time the loneliness will heal
The empty space within my soul
Will fill with sweet memories
And my heart will again be whole.
