    BONDS REMAIN BETWEEN THOSE WHO LOVE AND RESPECTED ONE ANOTHER....HUMAN OR ANIMAL.....

    FOR MOJO(on the passing of my 19 year old siamese cat)

     IN NIGHTS PEACEFUL HAND
    YOU NOW REST
    THE QUIET COUNTENANCE OF YOUR FACE
    IN REPOSE
    IN THE STARS LIGHT
    YOU ARE REMEMBERED
    AS THE MOON CASTS SHADOWS
    UPON THE GROUND
    WHERE YOU DID LAY
    AND IN THE SUNS LIGHT
    WHEN THE RAYS SHINE BRIGHTLY 
    WITH A WARM BUTTERY REFLECTION
    RECALLING THE IDYLLIC DAYS
    WHEN YOU BASQUED IN THEIR LIGHT
    YOU ARE MISSED

    AS THE BUTTERFLIES KISS THE FLOWERS
    YOU SO LOVED TO VIEW
    AND THE BIRDS NOW BUSY
    IN THEIR TREES
    WHERE YOU WOULD PROWL
    AND OBSERVE
    YOUR TENTATIVE PREY
    HOW MAGNIFICENT YOU WERE OLD FRIEND
    A LOVELY SERENE PRESENCE
    YOU NEVER FAULTERED IN YOUR AFFECTION
    EASING CONFLICT AND CONFUSION
    WITH A WIZENED GLANCE

    AS YOUR BLUE EYES
    EASILY SURVEYED THE SURROUNDINGS
    YOU ALMOST APPEARED TO SMILE
    AND YOUR ANCIENT LINEAGE
    SEEMED TO MAKE YOU
    ALL SEEING
    ALL KNOWING
    AND OBLIVIOUS
    TO SUCH FOOLISH HUMAN FOIBLES


    NOW YOU HAVE MOVED ON 
    TO A BEAUTEOUS PLACE
    OF ENDLESS WONDER
    MEMORIES WILL NOT FADE
    AS YOU CHASE THE BUTTERFLIES
    AND YOU ARE ONCE AGAIN
    YOUNG AND AGILE
    MOVING STEALTH LIKE 
    IN YOUR STRIDE
    THE BOND OF LOVE
    CANNOT BE BROKEN
    YOU WILL REMAIN WITHIN HEARTS AND MINDS
    BLESSING MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND
    UNTIL WE AGAIN MEET
    LOVE NEVER DIES

    You've written the most beautiful poem for your beloved Mojo. You are so right, you and Mojo's love will never die. I always believe everyone needs the close love/friendship of a very special pet. SBear

    he is and will always be close to my heart.......so glad you liked it:))

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
