To Little Boy, My Eldest Cat

Little Boy, Yoda-style, My Wise, Little Old Man

Jade jewels adorn your ermine face;

Soft murmurings that you joyf’ly make.

You lithely dance on agile feet;

Up-curled to nap in sunlight’s heat.

So stoic you gaze through windowsill

To ponder all life’s mysteries – still.

Solace to me you often give

When lonely, life has been to live.

With Love from Your mommy,

RIP Little Boy

June 1992 to February 1, 2010
