The fog comes we are told
in on little kitten toes
it stays for awhile then
we watch as it goes
we are sad today for one who
went from life on white fog feet
Our hearts hurt and grieve our
kitty boy so precious and sweet
We're also told, wrongly, that cats
take much and give nothing at all
our cat friend took so little and
gave so much for one so small
that was our Burnt Bagel boy
with coat a tiger shade of gray
so strokable soft and cozy
in his lovable, cuddly way
He was there when we needed
and he would never let us down
and sometimes he was naughty
he was such a funny clown.
We named him Burnt Bagel
because that's what he loved best
he lived a short but happy life
then too soon was laid to rest
Isn't sad how pets leave before
you realized they were gone
people do too, like Moses says
we remember and then move on.
But where shall we go when
we feel part of us also died?
although he was just an animal
our grief is so hard to hide.
and so many tears we cried
perhaps we'll weep some more
it's okay because death's forever
missing them, we may weep forever for.
some days we won't that's okay too
someday we're told all tears will dry
we'll meet them in the sweet by and by
but for now we're just going to cry
Thank you Burnt Bagel for being
mouse police, bagel thief and friend
furry warrior, property protector
We'll love you to the end.
Love always, Silas, Moses, Lola, Lucian, Ezra, Remus, Max, Cash, Mom, Dad, Opi and Omi
(AI couldn't seem to get you the right size Moses, so we made you one of your own.)
