Ode to Tallie
O Tallie, little light of mine
with gentle paws and curious eyes
you walked into my roughest days
and made them soft, warm, and bright.
you were more than just a cat to me
you were my comfort in a quiet room
a tiny heartbeat gently near my own
a friend who took away gloom
I still remember how I loved you
not loudly, but fully
in the way my heart made space for you
your purr was a mercy in my eyes
your fur a place where tired hands could rest
when the world was heavy around me
you made my sadness just a little less
and though you are no longer here
some love will never disappear
