I Knew The Time Would Come
I knew the time would come
It's the natural order of things
But the relentless weight loss
Signaled something entirely different
Doing the right thing at the right time
Was accelerated far beyond my wishes
He knew and I knew that the time was now
An act of compassion and love
My Buddy is gone now
And memories of him live strong in my heart
18 years is a long time to have a spirit with you
From kitten to final rest
He was a great cat
And a wonderful companion
I miss him
