Caleb

I’m not sure why but God chose you

He left my heart with a hole

I still find myself looking for you, wishing.

With each can of catfood I open I see you in my mind

Your eagerness to devour all the contents inside.

Special is a word I would describe our relationship as

Special as in extra wonderful

You were the sweetest, most gentle cat.

Your eyes were like marbles with green hues and shades of gold.

Watching you pass from this life towards the great beyond was,

Difficult and agonizing to say the least.

As I sang to you like you always loved,

I assured you it was okay to pass.

I begged God to ease your suffering and let you eternally rest.

You are and were my little “love”.

The morning greeter, the kindest cat,

Forever may my songs ease your heart, and God hold you close.

Something so great as you, God needed to.

In loving memory and sorrow at the loss of my cat, Caleb…
