Death of my kitten

As I came home that morning
a smile plastered on my face
I saw my family together crying
my smile was soon erased

my eyes began to tear
before I knew what was wrong
I could tell by their expression
someone we loved was gone

they gathered in the yard
around a single white flower
my father frowned and told me
he hadn't even been dead for an hour

I looked upon the tiny headstone
and didn't know where to begin
our kitten was hit by a car
I miss my baby zim..
