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
