Emerson
_____________________________________
It was a year ago today
I said goodbye to you
Dear cat
I just didn’t know what to say
Somehow I think you knew
Smart cat
*
Your spunky presence filled the room
And filled my heart as well
Unique
The fifteen years ended too soon
So hard to say farewell
Tears streak

Not a Spectator Sport
_____________________________________
Life is this pink and blue treat ball
Upon first glance does not enthrall
Just sitting there not giving
Needing you to do the living
You need to act to get rewards
Life’s waiting to be explored
Live to the fullest, risk the fall
Get all you can from this treat ball
