The friend I never asked for

She came to me, unannounced,
unadorned and without a care.

with her passion, her scorn,
her aloof demeanor.

She was of two minds, silent watching and ever sharing,

fire in her eyes,

a soft careful touch,

when I was sad and alone,
she knew what to do.

knew what was needed,
and how to share.

Her soft purr, and pitter pat,
I miss you much my faithful cat.

You touched our hearts, our souls, our inner being,
you cared for us, and we for you.

We named you pokie, short for polka dot,
we love you for ever more,

I miss you, as I say goodbye,
sadness overwhelms me, the sadness of a friend leaving

Forever,

and yet being,

Forever,

in my heart.

You are leaving, but we will never part.
souls intwined,
love mingled,

your so dear to me, I hope I am the same,
As I hear your purr, the purr that kept me sane.

You were there to fill a hole,
and as you leave a new one opens,
Sad, and yet not alone, so long as I remember yoru love,

to so many you played a role,
helping us,

You are loved, and not alone,
we are with you forever,
