A paws to say thank you - goodbye dear friend

Dear F,

I can sense my edges are all faded,

That my outline's a little smudgy. 

My coat feels a little duller, 

And my paws are a little grubby.

I spend most of my time in the shadows,

Left watching as you play. 

Remembering how once you needed me,

I fear I am fading away.

I know soon I shall be leaving,

Though it is not something I want to do.

Over years I have watched you achieve and grow,
And I am so very proud of you.

You seem taller by the minute,

In height and self esteem,

You have truly been the most wonderful friend,

We made a perfect team.

The time has come where I'm so faint,

One morning when you wake,

You will no longer be able to see me at all,

Your trusty Cat in a Cape.

It will be as if I was never there,

I will just silently depart.
And as the echoes of my paw prints fade,

I will pray you keep me in your heart.

And as I leave I will not be sad,
I will hold you dear and true.
You are a miracle, a wonder, the best of the best,

It was an honour to be friends with you.

A you grow older, telling childhood tales,

I will be bless to know there I will be.

As you remember the laughter, adventures and fun,

When it was just Ginger Cat and me.

Much love

Ginger Cat
