KITTY’S GONE
By Roxie’s daddy
We rescued you from the trailer park
How special you’ve been from the very start
You were beautiful with your colorful fur
Were shocked when we heard your gruff purr
Now silence
Kitty’s gone
You were almost human, you reached out to touch
Pets are precious, we loved you so much
It was always a joy, when we’d open the door
You’d come to meet us from lying on the floor
So happy
Kitty’s gone
After our showers, the water you’d lick
For some reason, you liked the carpet to pick
On your pillow you’d lie under the coffee table
We long to see you if only we were able
Our Calico
Kitty’s gone
You followed your mommy from room to room
Now only memories and sometimes gloom
To the recliner you’d jump into daddy’s lap
And soon get down after a little nap
Lap’s empty
Kitty’s gone
You were not allowed on mommy’s couch
But you were so sweet in your little pouch
We’d be busy about our day
Around the corner, you’d come join the fray
Where’s Kitty?
Kitty’s gone
In time you started the door jamb to scratch
You didn’t know daddy would have to patch
Into the kitchen begging for a treat
You seemed to gather around our feet
Treats are there
Kitty’s gone
Out of bed, we watched where we stepped
We’d wonder and search to see where you slept
Usually a mess in the utility room,
Nothing we couldn’t fix with a dust pan and broom
All is clean
Kitty’s gone
During the day, came time to explore
To make you happy we’d open the door
You’d jump on the bed, disturb our sleep
Then came the time you no longer could leap
Wish you could
Kitty’s gone
To fill your bowls with food and water
To be sure it was no bother
Maybe now we’ll decorate a big tree
It won’t be the same without Kitty
Just stillness
Kitty’s gone
Your beautiful coat you were always grooming
When you stopped, we feared the end was looming
No longer we’ll see you lying in the sun
We had to take you in just like Bun
And sadly
Kitty’s gone
After keeping us company for 17 sweet years,
We had to say goodbye through a flood of tears,
When you last went to sleep, in my arms I did hold
I laid you in the ground, oh so cold
Grief is real
Kitty’s gone
Now you can sleep under the flowers
Where the grass will grow from the gentle showers
You’ll never know how much your life
Meant to me and especially my wife
Our Roxie
Kitty’s gone
Companion, comforter, ally and friend
You were true and loyal to the very end
Father Time finally tore us apart
But you’ll forever be in our heart
Even though
Kitty’s gone
We rescued you from the trailer park
How special you’ve been from the very start
You were beautiful with your colorful fur
Were shocked when we heard your gruff purr
