Beautiful Friend

Beautiful Cat, who shared my life

Beautiful Cat, who mellowed my strife

Beautiful Eyes, in the dark glowed so bright

Beautiful Eyes, shone like gems in the light

Beautiful Fur, soft and silky smooth

Beautiful Fur, just one touch would soothe

Beautiful Tail, held high with regal pride

Beautiful Tail, that expressed thoughts inside

Beautiful Face, full of smarts and intuition

Beautiful Face, full of love without condition

Beautiful Body, so agile and strong

Beautiful Body, whose life is sadly gone

Beautiful Soul, a perfect little being

Beautiful Soul, broke my heart as life was fleeing

Beautiful Friend, always by my side

Beautiful Friend, my pain can’t be denied

Beautiful Cat, why did you go

Beautiful Cat, I miss you so

My beloved feline friend: Always loved, never forgotten
