Tasha and Brother
TASHA AND BROTHER
Tasha was a wooly bear of a chow
Who found a homeless kitten somehow
He followed her home and she took over his care
Grooming and cleaning, smoothing his unruly hair
For months they made their daily appointed rounds
On the woody paths they considered their grounds
Eating and sleeping together and always by her side
The kitten called Brother was his "Mother's" pride
One day Tasha was upset we could see
Brother was gone where could he be
Looking and searching the nearby wood
Was fruitless revealing nothing of any good
Tasha decided she would take the task on
She looked back at us and then was gone
Later she arrived with head hanging low
But that wasn't all she had something to show
A small cat she held ever so gently
Breathing no longer his life gone evidently
Her heart was broken she couldn't recover
Her small son departed so for her it was all over
Soon thereafter Tasha knew that find him she might
Sadly the rainbow bridge was where they would reunite
But in evening's fading light two shadows are sometimes seen
Showing those who might glimpse this unforgettable scene
How much love between two small creatures there had been
