In Memory of Mr. Kitty
by Elsa Perez
You came to me one hot, hot summer day, You were so tiny, I thought maybe you might just not be. But as days went by, You seemed to thrive, On the loving care that I gave. You seemed so helpless and alone, So tiny, yet so fierce and strong. Like a thief, you stole my heart, and like a lion, you let me know, just who was king. Well thats what I let you believe, 'cause you and I, we both knew, that deep inside you were one sweet kit. Yeah, I always knew, that you had a special thing to you. Now, somehow, I don't understand why, those yellow eyes I cannot find, I try so hard I don't know why, I cannot hear that familiar meow, though sometimes I think I can, but I know it's just my heart wishing with all its might. Thinking maybe, if I close my eyes and wish real hard, instead of pain, I will feel your beating heart, and your loving stare on my loving face. But thats all I can do, wish you back again. you were taken from me, one hot, hot summer night, and I find myself asking why? Knowing that, no matter how much I try to understand, it will always be a mystery to me. I sit alone, and ask myself time and again, did you think of me and the love I had for you? Or did you think I let you down? If I could, I would make things right, but I know I cant, and it breaks my heart, to think that you were so close, but now sadly, you are so far. I know you are in Heaven now, probably trying to be king. Who knows, maybe God just needed another cat, mabe he had too many mice. But I hope you know that you will always be in my heart. =^..^=
