Rest in Peace Ghost Cat

I am planning a creamation for Monday afternoon (1/29/07)

(no subject)

I still hear you purring
Even though it’s just your ghost
I won’t shed any more tears on your fur
And you won’t steal my dinner again
I miss you on my window sill
And under my feet in the kitchen
Your chin no longer rests on my wrist as I type
And I can read my books without your help
My bed is no longer warm when I get into it
My water cup will always be just as full as I left it
You were my solace, Ghost, for sixteen years
And at the very end you still tried to purr for me.

In loving memory of Ghost, the big black cat
1990 (?) to January 23, 2007
