About a Cat

ABOUT A CAT
 
 They found you at the bus stop in the bin.
  scraggy mog with unmatched staring eyes.
  The soaking fur made bones show through your skin.
  How could we all resist your plaintive cries. 

  We brought you home and loved you from that day                                                                                                                                                                                                     
  A tortoiseshell with absurd velvet ears.
  Remember how we taught you how to play
  And climb the trees to allay all your fears

  For eighteen years you clung to every heart. 
 Our feline friend from destination 'bin' 
 We  sorrowed when your time came  to depart 
 And watched as moggy heaven let you in
 Sleep well my friend beneath your favourite tree.
 There's a  hole in our hearts where you should be.

Robert Pettit Date: 8/29/2018 5:41:00 PM Reminds me of those radio commercials I hear on a local AM station during the early morning hours. They come from the ASPCA and the Ad Council. Your first attempt at a sonnet looks like a good one.
