A Poem For Perkins:

Here is a poem in memory of my cat Perkins, whom passed away in March. He would have been 9 years old on Friday...:(

As the sun shines brightly through the door,
I expect to see you all sprawled out on the floor.
But then I remember that you’re not here,
And only wish I could hold you near.

No matter how hard I try,
It's still so hard not to cry.
Although you're gone you’re still in my heart,
Of which you will always remain a great part.

As days pass by and the seasons go,
I still always am missing you so.
Though I know your in better place
How I miss seeing your sweet face.

I still think back to that tragic day,
All was somber and so gray.
Making the decision to have you leave,
Was so hard to imagine and still I grieve.

When saying goodbye I held you tight,
Trying not to be sad with all my might.
I told you how I would try to stay strong,
Then I sung you your special song.

I stayed there with you til the end,
Doing my best to be a good friend.
Again and again I told you I loved you,
Until I was no longer in your view.

Now your above and look down at me,
No longer in pain just happy and free.
I hope one day our paths may meet.
And you'll be there waiting to greet.

Through the tears in my eyes, I can hardly see what I'm typing here.

What a wonderful poem you have written for your beautiful Perkins!

Reading your poem also brought back the memories of losing my beloved Katz; the 4th anniversary of her passing was on May 3rd. What you've described in your poem sounded so familiar to me...

R.I.P. sweet Perkins!
