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.
