a tiny purring furball nestled in my palm

grew into the cheeky cat who bit my bum



you leapt tall wardrobes in one bound

and curled upon my bed so round

my sweet boy who loved so well

you even thought the toad was swell



crazy cat asleep in the bathroom sink

your antics always tickled us pink

in the sunshine you loved to sprawl

evenings find you perched up on the wall



you have crossed over to the light

now i must endure each lonely night

until i too can cross to the other side

and forever be by your side
