(a tribute to a cat named Agatha)
Lovely thing dressed all in fur
Dainty legs
And tail that curls
Patient eyes
Sweet little nose
And of course her precious purr
She comes to me, silent walk
Hopeful heart
and brave little paw
Something else
a nudge of her head
then she and me we have a talk
Quiet voice all dressed in love
Purest breath
And her worried gaze
With kneading paws
She beckons me
She shares her news, rainbow above
She kisses me, wet nose
Strong nudge
and purrs full of love
Something else
a peacefulness
Looks content then off she goes
Oh little cat my sweetest choice
Kind and pure
Patient voice
My delight, forever friend
Faithful til the end
There she lies
There she dies
Once a path, now a grave
Once my cat, always brave
Memories will wax and wane
Soothe my soul, yet conjure pain
Life and death truest test
Tethering time infinitely
Breathing breaths
Sighing sighs
This little soul laid to rest
Now free to float on rainbow’s bridge
Life no more is not a test
Life then death is truest truth
Let her be in purest form
Little cat named Agatha
We now will let her rest
