Ryan (11 Years)

And looking back i see you
fitting in the palm of my childish hand
little hisses and tiny claws
till you grew into a fur ball
chasing leaves and pieces of grass
just learning your own voice

searching the past there you are
running up to get a belly rub
soft purrs and bright green eyes
till you had 4 of your own
nurturing and loving them
until they ventured on their way

looking upon our lives you are there
calming me from my tears
little bumps and soothing meows
till a smile was on my face
tail flicks and batting paws
so I would know you're there

11 years of tender love
She was always there
death is creeping in her eyes
soon she will be gone
life with out my baby girl
that I can not see

I will soon be abandoned
by one i love so much
i'll be drowning in memories
and tears will fill my eyes
but there is not one time i will regret
for she was my baby, and always will be

**Ryan... 77 years old, my baby. i will never forget her... she was the only thing that made me smile through much of my childhood, and no other Cat could ever replace her.**
