Kes

There she was in the rescue home

A kitten that was just a simple grey moggy.

Hearts melted at first touch of this weeks old kitten

And no other would I take though I looked at all the others

Always I came back looked her in the eye.

Never loud purrs, only quiet meows in 7 years until the day she left us

Was like her final goodbye to us though we did not know just then.

She breathed her last, we said goodbye

We left the vets, we paid the bill, outside at last we could cry.
