I still remember the day I first saw you, a tiny bundle of warmth cradled up in my arms.I stroked your fur,soft as clouds,so warm,so mine.Your purrs felt like gentle hum,a comforting charm. Through my quiet mornings to stormy nights, you were there – my best friend, my secret light.You watched me over while I drifted to sleep with your beautiful emerald eyes,wise and deep.You said no words but yet your love spoke clear. You were always there-so silent,so near.
I remember your small, nimble paws-your baby pink nose and how you darted around with no pause.I remember the way you claimed the highest spot, as if the world itself belonged to you-my tiny tot. You had a mischievous meow I couldn’t ignore, knocking over things, sleeping on the floor.
As 9 years passed, your leaps grew small yet you answered my every quiet call. Time slowed your steps , your bounds became meek.I sat beside you, whispered your name- wishing I could take away all your pain.You looked at me with those emerald wise eyes, as if you were saying to me “ Thank you for the life”.
Now the house feels empty, the sunbeam untouched- no one to cuddle with, no one to love. Your paws may not walk beside me anymore but yet in each quiet moment your memories linger, soft as a whisper as ever before.
