My Little Girl
It was just a cat!
Said the neighbors and the boss.
We don't see where that
Should have been such a loss!
It isn't like it was
A daughter or a son!
It's just a thing with fuz.
You can get another one!
I turn my head away,
So the tears wouldn't show.
Please, just end this day.
Please, just let me go.
To her memories I'll fly!
That's where I will dwell.
To watch our days go by,
I'll rest here for a spell.
I know the outside world
Will call me back again.
But my precious little girl
Will give me strength 'till then.
Just a minute longer,
That is all I crave.
Resting, I'll get stronger,
Next to her sweet grave.
Finally I move,
Bow my head and smile.
Time for me to prove,
I can manage now. A while.
In loving memory of my best friend, Tinker Toy.
