The Sixth Sense

This lovely little cat has been my friend for a long time. I have never been so worried as I am today. It is time. He is about to leave this world. He is really old and, you know, sickness comes with age. To be honest, I just wish I am strong enough to see him leave, But I do not think I am prepared for that, though. So sad. I wish there could be another way. If you have pets, you know what I am talking about. Some people do not understand what pets mean to their owners. In fact, a beloved pet has a father or a mother; not an owner. My kitty cat has always been a son to me. Does he know what is happening, I wonder? Does he understand I am in pain for him? Is sixth sense part of your amazing being, my dear kitten? I hope you understand my life will never be the same without you, Falco.

Great poem Celine. Definitely illustrates the pain of losing someone close, whether be a person or an animal. Good honesty in this piece overall. Check out some of my poems, might find some you like. Peace.
