Monday - My Kitty

My kitty Pandy just passed
And although his memory lasts
I miss him to this day
And I'd just like to say

After I saw him put to sleep,
I could feel the emotions starting to seep
I knew he wouldn't be here
Even when I needed him near

I still don't feel like he is gone
My tears have already been drawn
But I've had him for such a long time
I thought he would always be mine

But I guess his meow will be gone from my ears,
But after being with him for so many years,
I still think I see him when I really don't,
And I try to tell myself that I won't.

I don't regret getting him put down,
Even though it makes me frown,
If I'd kept him here he would be sad
And I would never be that bad

Oh, yes, I miss him, dearly so,
It was the right thing to do, that I know.
Even though he was so old,
I don't think his life could unfold.

He was my baby, my precious one,
Lying on my porch in the sun.
But I know he was ready, so
I guess I had to let him go.

Monday - Write about a memory you've been thinking about lately; good, or bad, whichever... Just make it real for me so I can understand how it made you feel, what you think of it now and how it has influenced you.
