18 years

i had a friend
a cat?.. you say?
for 18 years
he walked my way

i had a friend
he came to stay
we met upon 
one rainy day

18 years
i had a friend
i took him in
for better worse

for 18 years
we shared a bed
my feet aligned 
beside his head

for 18 years
entwined as one
he died last year
his mission done

i had a friend
he rescued me
twas i you see
was stray. Not he.

Now here's how it went down, first read I wasn't expecting the ending, no way ma'am. So it painfully got through to the heart. The second read I laughed. Brilliant toying of the emotions, and I also choose to believe this tale be true.

It is true... still miss the little bugger who found me on nightshift... outside the nursing home where I worked then. Hid him in downstairs loo and took him home. Little tabby, thin with bald patches. It was Halloween, named him Pumpkin.
Turned out to be a male... never forgave me lol... thanks R x

Maybe two stray souls entwined as one? 
dearest Marion, I think your feet miss him too. I know my feet would miss
my furry friends very much. Don't we love those creatures!

Pulling at my heart strings this is so true for so many, finding something that can actually save our lives having this type company that came out of no where seems pretty much a sign. Beautiful dear friend. 🌹
