To my friend's kitten Shadow

Loved and treasured friend to all

RIP

--

Gone to a place of eternal rest

Forever in the shadow's nest.

With pride and courage bold

The shadow's nest forever to hold.

With a gentle kindness

Bright in the shadow's nest darkness.

--

Always was she at your side

Afore the shadow's, to her, vied.

On her way up to the sky

The shadow's nest her shanghai.

She who opened her bed

That even shadow's nest began to dread.

--

For the kitten smaller than she

How cruel the shadows nest was to be.

Love and mothered that kitten she did

It was the shadow's nest misdid.

For no sooner was she there

That the shadow's nest left her bed bare.

--

now she's gone to a place of eternal rest

To be forever and always in the shadow's nest.
