Farewell

Shyam

You lay on the gravel,

Like you always do,

Your shining eyes and golden fur,

Fluffy, like you always are.

But you're not breathing,

Your little tongue is hanging out,

I can't bear it, my buddy,

Why your ears don't twitch?

 

Brave mouse hunter,

You were the thinnest,

Lovely little fella,

You always ate the least,

Yet I saw you one day,

Catch a big rat with your teeny-weeny teeth.

My valiant mouser,

Thank you for your service,

Farewell my buddy .

      Awwww very sad... I'm very sorry about your cat. 🙁 I went away on a trip when I was little, and I came back and my dog whom I loved very much was gone... Turns out my dad had put her to sleep while I was gone, so I never got a chance to say goodbye... 🙁

        This is excellent, I think! How very well and poignantly you've depicted the dear cat and your great grief in it's loss, by expressing the lack of realization as you stand staring at its lifeless body, talking in vain to nobody, for it is gone forever. Very well done! Beautiful! I am sorry you had to lose it. I recall when my cat died, we thought hit by a passing semi; I was very sad.
