My Angel

May she RIP.

You see others playing.
You wish it were your own
Cute, cuddly.
But sadly it's not possible.
You see their little faces
Innocent
But wise.

I remember
Looking back,
She meant so much to me,
Still does.
Always will.
Never won't.

We would talk.
Me speaking -- her listening.
My problems
Cured.
It's strange to think after all this time
She's still there in my mind.
But she's not.

It only took one thought
To bring memories flooding back.
Her soul lives on.
Her voice echoed in my ears.
Her loving hugs,
And gentle kisses.
Forever there.

A smile -- her face.
A tear -- her place.

She belonged here.
But is happy where she is,
I hope.
I believe.
For that is where she belongs,
Surely?
An angel
In cat heaven.

Some people do not realize just how much an animal - like a cat or dog - becomes part of your family. They are the truest form of requitered Love. Needing, but not demanding of what you refuse to give them. They are there to confide in, and absorb your tears without judgement.

Nicely written!! Very enjoyable and filled with beauty

I love this poem! Cat's, I believe, are angels; I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
"Her loving hugs,
And gentle kisses.
Forever there. "
