Ode To Kitty

Now I look back at old memories 
Of rivers and forests, my cat and I free
We wandered, explored and cooked where we stopped
Saw waterfalls, gold streams, would fish and hunt lots
At night we would sleep in a car made so warm
Protected from snow, wind, strangers and storms
Through the worst of transitioning she was my one friend
And I'd never have thought our adventures would end
But life up and took her, and whisked her away
My lap and heart empty, where once she would lay
I'll see you, I'll hug you one day, my best friend
Though your absence destroys me, one day it will end
The kitty shaped hole that grows in my heart, reminds me of times when we weren't apart
We'll be out on adventures again someday, and again in my lap and my heart you will lay
