My dear sweet cat that we raised for 8 strong years.
All the wear and tear, you brought us to tears.
We found you outside and never knew how old you were, but still loved you.
We were thinking you must of been about 10 years of age, but in our hearts you grew.
Your last eight years of life,
Found you through so much strife.
We took you in, and loved you the best we can.
You were a mommy, just like me, so mother and daughter love, you understand.
We gave you a home,
So you wouldn't be alone.
We loved you just like our own.
Now eight years has passed and you have been out of our lives.
I sometimes see you in the hallway, I see you hide.
You were a true lady indeed,
But today and forever our hearts would bleed.
Blacky may you rest in peace, forever.
Someday when it is our time, again we will be together.
