What is Man without the Animals?

What is man without the animals?
If all the animals were gone,
Men would die from a great
Loneliness of spirit.

My cherished friend,
My faithful companion,
You found your place
In my home~ and in my heart
You shared the hills
and valleys of my life
Your love unchanged,
a constant.
You took the sustenance
I gave you, yes, but you
gave me much, much more:
Your loyalty, your affection,
Your joy of living,
Your simple pure ways.
You found your place
In my heart and
there you will remain.
Forever friend,
may your spirit
be free as the breeze
and may your rest be easy.
(original words for a beloved pet)

A Simple Thing, really, a Cat
|

A simple thing really, a cat.
Observer of my daily comings and goings.
My mundane errands to the Outside.
Always there to meet me when I returned.
To share affection, to await my touch.
Seemingly self sufficient, full of an
Independent spirit, you made
Yourself a place in my heart,
Sharing my home and my life.
The day we lost you was a
Bitter day.
Imprinted in my memories,
I can still see you in your
favorite places, snoozing
Peacefully in the sun
Or shade, curled up,
Perhaps dreaming
Of things known only
to cats. You, my
friend who left
Too soon, you
Have left an
Indelible print
On my heart.

You were part of my familiar background
Observer of my comings and goings
Always there to salute me
To share your affection
A simple thing, really, a cat
Yet, part of me all these years.
Taken from me,
Unwillingly~~
I greatly miss your
Presence.

Bound Together in Brotherhood
I am part of the family of man
Bound by invisible ties of loyalty
Strands of love and affection
Cords of strength and constancy
Bound together in brotherhood.
