Goodbye

You were the
Delight of my life when
I had no husband or son
You were the
Creature who kept me sane when
The world seemed to be falling apart
I bought you
Five years ago
Walking into the pet store and you have me those eyes
Chose me yourself
Said, "you are mine."
And how true that was
For you were not of the world
The world was of you
Proud, regal, beautiful, strong
You were the Queen of the household
My first darling
The love of my life
She who I got for
Selfish reasons because I 
Needed to hold onto something in my darkest times
And now you lie there
Under the towel
Cold, still, gone
No longer suffering
No longer haunted
No longer struggling
You are at peace
And me and the boys will miss you, Mithy
Goodbye
