. . .and life's all gone,
my old gray
eyes are closing,
I'll remember this moment
as the childhood I treasured,
a wonderful friend
you came to me.
I'll smile
think
he was really great!
No other cat,
nope. . .
there was never
another
like him.
I will
always
love
you
Sammy.

OPTION B
He could talk, and he loved riding around in the basket of my bicycle.
He was a pretty cool cat.

Oh, just a wonderful and fine nostalgic piece of poetry (I recall my dog, Teddy, so named because he was the color of my Teddy bear) excellent and, obviously highly evocative piece! bravo... bravo...
