Ode To Mischief Lotus

My cat is a rescue me, The abandonment of loneliness He had his Forever Home promise My love and affection were his. See, he turns out to be, Complete contentment we shared Mutual grounds in battles, here We did not care and laughed. My cat was very special to me: He was all that I had in this world. He did love me a bunch, you see; I loved him back even more With this punch, I had shown. He gave me a reason to live; He started to grow and give He greeted me every morning He gave me his meow-to gear. Until he was watered and fed; He weighed twenty-five lbs He was this big boy, instead! As he was growing up: I taught him to Box, indeed Yes, you read that right, I say I taught Mischief how to Box. He would get up on his hind legs, He gave a pawing jab With his pawing punch It is true he could Box. Mischief grew over the years, And we always had fun in tears He had come to a spot in his life It was our saddest one, we feared. June 30th was the day; Independence was here He was playing around in the house He lay under the air, basking him. Then he came to the room, He wanted to take a nap Up in the window, he went Not knowing it would be his last stint. Then the next thing I knew, He was dragging his legs He cried with a bellowing pain in his voice Mischief had a stroke that day. In such a heartbreaking way, For this cat to bear I needed to relieve his pain. I left him there for the night, He was under sedation I collapsed, walking away He gave me such a fright. July 1st came in, He looked at me with a thirst Then he kissed my hand, that he knew And laid in my lap We Loved Blue. He wanted up to my shoulders, Then give me this One Lasting Hug The vet had his cocktail treat waiting, My Mischief Lotus, Departs Now He sleeps! Oh, my heart aches for you; Of the agonized pain he suffered That bellowing, hurtful cry, He is Free, Now He Flys! I know this grieving here will pass, In its time indeed. Rest In Peace, My Lil Buddy I Love You One More Last Time! "A tribute to the sorrow that brings us the strength of undying love, prevailing its light." ~ William Darnell Sr R.I.P.
