I lost a dear friend today.
I held him close
As he passed away.
Watching me with eyes
Filled with love and fear.
I pulled him closer
And whispered in his ear.
The story of the day he was found
Broken and beaten
Laying on the ground.
So small and tiny
I feared he wouldn't live.
But for sixteen years
Love and devotion
Was all he could give.
A warm meow
When I was blue
A gentle purr
Saying I love you.
I kissed his head
And held him tight,
And cried my tears
As he left this life.
Now all I have are my dreams
Where he will visit me
And meow so softly
I am free.

Wow, I really liked this. It really reminded me of my cat, Pippy, especially the lines
The story of the day he was found
Broken and beaten
Laying on the ground.
