Cats!

A Poem to Cats


They never leave our memories,the cats who've shared our lives.In subtle ways they let us knowtheir spirit still survives.
Old habits still make us thinkwe hear a meow at the door.Or step back when we dropa tasty morsel on the floor.Our feet still go around the placethe food dish used to be,And, sometimes, coming home at nightwe miss them terribly.
And although time my bring new friendsand a new food dish to fill,That one place in our heartsbelongs to them... and always will.
