Shady Cat
After sixteen years with me
my Shady Cat's life ended
and I had to let him go.
He had entered my life as
a shy, scared little kitten
rescued from a garbage bin.
He found family, and I
found a good friend to the end,
gracing me with his presence.
When I think of life's small joys,
I think of family times,
Christmas morn, and Shady Cat.
He could not have been more loved,
and I wish him well upon
his spiritual journey.
